Hector Cuper called-up nine foreign-based players for Congo’s Clash

Egypt to start their campaign in the World Cup qualifiers on 9 October when they face Congo away.

Hector Cuper kept almost the same group of foreign-based players who featured in the last two friendlies against Guinea and South Africa earlier this month.

Barnsley’s midfielder Sam Morsy who was called up for the first time to play against Guinea was dropped from the list due to administrative issues.

The nine foreign-based players: 

Ahmed Elmohamady (Hull City, England), Mohamed Abdel-Shafi (Ahly Jeddah, KSA), Omar Gaber (Basel, Switzerland),  Mahmoud Hassan Trezeguet (Mouscron, Belgium), Mohamed El-Neny (Arsenal, England), Mohamed Salah (Roma, Italy), Ramadan Sobhi (Stoke City, England), Ahmed Hassan “Kouka” (Braga, Portugal), Mahmoud ‘Kahraba’ Abdel-Moneam (Ittihad Jeddah)
