Mohamed Salah sports new look as Egypt complete final training for Malawi qualifier

Egypt have completed their final training session before facing Malawi in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, with captain Mohamed Salah attracting attention after growing a moustache.

The session took place at Cairo Stadium on the eve of Friday’s third-round match, which will kick off at 21:00.

All the players named in Egypt’s squad took part in the training session as the team made its final preparations for the home fixture.

The game will be Ali Maher’s first in charge of Egypt since he replaced former head coach Hossam Hassan.

Egypt currently lead the group with four points, ahead of Angola on goal difference. Malawi are third on three points, while South Sudan are bottom without a point after losing their opening two matches.

Egypt and Malawi will meet again on Tuesday, when the fourth-round fixture will be played in Malawi.
