The Egyptian national team has emphasized the readiness of Ahmed Hegazi and Mohamed El-Shennawy to participate seamlessly in the upcoming clash against Mozambique.
The Egyptian national team is poised to kick off their Africa Cup of Nations campaign with a match against Mozambique on Sunday at 7:00 PM.
The source informed FilGoal.com, stating, “Ahmed Hegazi is ready to participate against Mozambique.
The scene where he appeared, and some speculated that he was icing his foot, was for recovery purposes, but he fully participated in training naturally.”
Continuing, “Mohamed El-Shennawy is in good health and will participate normally in the match after recovering from the injury and completing rehabilitation.”
Hegazi returns to action after a prolonged absence due to a cruciate ligament injury.
Hegazi featured in three matches with his club, Al Ittihad Jeddah, ahead of the tournament. Additionally, he played in a friendly match for Egypt against Tanzania.
Egypt is placed in Group 2 alongside Mozambique, Ghana, and Cape Verde.
Hegazi, a stalwart defender, is set to make his fourth appearance in the Africa Cup of Nations with Egypt.
His return to the squad adds defensive depth and experience.
As the Egyptian team prepares for the AFCON, the availability of Hegazi and El-Shennawy strengthens their defensive lineup, providing confidence and assurance as they embark on their quest for continental glory.
The team aims to build on its rich history in the tournament, with Hegazi’s resilience and El-Shennawy’s goalkeeping prowess adding significant value to their campaign.
