Egypt now knows who will represent the country at the World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The squad list was unveiled on Wednesday 20 May. It includes a few new faces and one notable absence.
Mohamed Salah has, unsurprisingly, been called up for the American campaign. Hamza AbdelKarim and Aqtay Abdallah have been selected for the first time. However, Mostafa Mohamed is missing from the list.
