EGYPT the record-holders, with seven trophies, are bidding for their first cup since 2010 as they play the North African team at 9pm Cairo time (GMT +2).

The Pharaohs qualified for the last eight after securing a goalless draw against Mali in the opener and winning 1-0 against both Uganda and Ghana.

Egypt midfielder Mohamed Elneny could be doubtful to start against Morocco in Sunday’s quarterfinal game in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations.

Local media reported that the 24-year-old Arsenal player sustained a minor injury during Sunday morning’s training session and could be sidelined.

Egypt Playing the game in Port-Gentil, where they have been based all along, means they have enjoyed a more relaxed build-up.

Morocco may have had an extra 24 hours to prepare, but they were delayed in leaving the northern town of Oyem on Thursday.

When they arrived in Port-Gentil, the Moroccan delegation found that the hotel originally set aside for them was not ready and so they were forced to come up with an alternative solution.
