After drawing at home to Zambia and losing 3-1 in Algeria, Egypt are currently trailing World Cup qualifying Group C with one point, one game and six points behind leaders Algeria.

"We all agreed to think of the upcoming Rwanda game before making any calculations about our position in the group," midfielder Mohamed Abou-Trika told FilGoal.com.

"We need to take each game as a separate stage and, from there, see how we will do."

Egypt will face Rwanda in a postponed clash tomorrow evening in Cairo.
