Egypt's national team continues to face challenges in the Africa Cup of Nations. Now, the "Pharaohs" have lost their primary goalkeeper, Mohamed El-Shenawy.

In the closing stages of yesterday's match against Cape Verde (2:2), El-Shenawy sustained a shoulder injury, and he was replaced by Mohamed Abu Gabal, known as Gabaski.

Today, it was revealed that the 35-year-old goalkeeper from Al-Ahly will no longer be able to participate in the tournament.

Recall that earlier, Egypt lost their star player Mohamed Salah, who suffered a knee ligament injury and returned to Liverpool for rehabilitation. He might potentially return to the tournament by the semifinals at best.

Egypt finished second in their group with 3 points. In the Round of 16, Egypt will face the team that secures the second spot in Group F. Currently, Morocco leads the group with 4 points, while DR Congo and Zambia have 2 points each, and Tanzania has 1 point.
