EGYPT FULL SQUAD NAMES FOR NIGER & NIGERIA GAMES

The Pharaohs, who have already booked a place in Africa’s flagship tournament with one match to spare in their qualifying group, are second with 12 points, on level with leaders Tunisia who enjoy a better goal difference.

With Javier Aguirre at the helm, Egypt crushed Niger 6-0, defeated eSwatini 4-1 at home and 2-0 away, and dispensed with Tunisia 3-2 via a stoppage-time strike from Mohamed Salah.

“Our main strategy is to build a team for the 2022 World Cup, so we are working on reducing the age average in our team,” he concluded.
