Arab Cup: Hegazi replaces Emam Ashour
Carlos Queiroz recalls Ahmed Hegazi . Ittihad Jeddah defender replaces midfielder Emam Ashour for the FIFA Arab Cup. The competition begins this Sunday and will run until December 18. Ashour was one of 23 players chosen by coach Carlos Queiroz. The latter is indeed tested positive for Covid-19 and therefore forfeited the tournament.
Egypt is housed in Group D alongside Algeria, Lebanon and Sudan. The Pharaohs’ first game will take place on December 1 against Lebanon, before facing Sudan three days later and concluding the group stages, against Algeria on December 7.
