The most successful team in the African Cup of Nations with seven victories, Egypt will travel to Ivory Coast with 27 players. Portuguese coach Rui Vitoria announced his list this Saturday, halving an initial list of 55 names.
Pyramids FC attacking midfielder Abdallah Saïd was not selected, as were Mahmoud Hamdy (Zamalek SC), Hussein El Shahat (Al Ahly) and Mohamed Magdy (Al Ahly). In the 27, we inevitably find the Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah or the Nantes player Mostafa Mohamed, author of six goals since the start of the season in Ligue 1. He is the only player in the championship
Among the big names on the list, we find Gunner Mohamed Elneny and Omar Marmoush, from Eintracht Frankfurt.
Unhappy finalists in 2021 against Senegal, the Pharaohs will begin their competition in a cautious state of mind. Asked about the ambitions of his team, Rui Vitoria did not want to reveal his ambitions. “Each match will be approached as a final (…), we will not think of anything else. »
The competition for Mohamed Salah’s teammates will begin on January 14 against Mozambique, before Ghana four days later and Cape Verde on January 21.
