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.
