Egyptian football fans are left pondering over the fate of the national team’s goalkeeper for upcoming matches following Mohamed El-Shennawy’s injury during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, sidelining him for three months.
The Egyptian national team is gearing up for a friendly tournament in the United Arab Emirates on the sidelines of the camp set to commence on March 12th until the 26th, marking their first appearance under the leadership of Hossam Hassan.
Hossam Hassan Settles on Egypt National Team’s Goalkeeper
Sources within the Egyptian national team’s coaching staff revealed to “Al-Watan Sport” that Hossam Hassan’s selection for the team’s main goalkeeper in the coming period has narrowed down to Mustafa Shubair, the goalkeeper of Al Ahly club, and the duo of Mohamed Awad and Mohamed Sobhi from Zamalek club.
However, Hossam Hassan prefers to rely on Mustafa Shubair in the upcoming period after his strong performances in recent matches with the Red Devils.
The final match of the Egypt Cup will be the decisive factor in Hossam Hassan’s decision as he monitors the goalkeepers’ performance in the game.
The Al-Ahly Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, is set to host the Egypt Cup final between the two Egyptian football powerhouses, Al Ahly and Zamalek, at 7:00 PM on Friday, March 8th.
