Palestine's goalkeeper Ramzi Saleh

 Palestine could be without captain Ramzi Saleh for the
Asian Cup Group D match with Iraq in Canberra on Tuesday, coach Ahmed
Al Hassan said Tuesday.
"The goalkeeper, captain Ramzi, might miss the next match because he
was injured in yesterday's (Monday) training," Al Hassan was quoted
as saying on the Asian Football Confederation homepage.
"And we might involve more people who will have the honour of
participating for the first time in this championship."
Minnows Palestine lost 4-0 to holders Japan and 5-1 to Jordan in
their opening

games

and have only a theoretical chance of reaching
the quarter-finals.
The experienced Saleh, who plays for Smouha in Egypt, has been capped
107 times for his country.
