Match Preview
“How could we play two games within three days only? This doesn’t happen even in Europe during the current circumstances. We have to give the players a break, the situation is very tense and I am angry, but we will fight,” Le Roy told On-Time Sports TV channel.
Egypt who are currently third in the Group G ranking with two points – have no other option but to win when they host Togo whose place is in the group’s bottom. They need to improve their ranking as only the top two will advance to the African Nations’ Cup finals, which will take place in January 2022 in Cameroon.
Comoros top the group with five points, two ahead of Kenya after the two teams drew 1-1 in the third round on Wednesday.
