Egypt national team coach Bob Bradley has released a list of 30 players who will form his roster for the upcoming World Cup 2014 qualifier against Mozambique that will take place on June 1 at the Borg El Arab stadium in Alexandria.
Meanwhile, Ahmed Fathi and Sayed Moawad are back in Bradley’s team after missing out on the previous training camp due to their respective knocks.
Unsurprisingly, the ever-controversial Shikabala has been dropped following the outburst he directed at Zamalek coach Hassan Shehata during a recent Caf Champions League match against Maghreb Fes. Former Wigan player, Amr Zaki, was overlooked as well.
