Adam El-Abd included in Egypt’s squad for Mozambique clash
May 15, 2012 6:00:00 PM
The Brighton defender has profited from an injury to Wael Gomaa and received his first call-up ever to the Egyptian national team while Shikabala finds himself ousted
Egypt national team coach Bob Bradley has released a list of 30 players who will form his roster for the upcoming 2014 World Cup qualifier against Mozambique that will take place on June 1 at the Borg El Arab stadium in Alexandria.
A surprise inclusion in the squad is Brighton defender Adam El-Abd. The British-born 27-year-old has been called upon for the first time in his career to replace veteran centre-back Wael Gomaa who will miss out through a calf injury.
Meanwhile, Ahmed Fathi and Sayed Moawad are back in Bradley’s team after missing out on the previous training camp due to their respective knocks.
Unsurprisingly, the ever-controversial Shikabala has been dropped following the outburst he directed at Zamalek coach Hassan Shehata during a recent Caf Champions League match against Maghreb Fes. Another prominent White Knights attacker, Amr Zaki, was overlooked as well.
