CAIRO – 1 November 2017: National football team manager Ehab Lehita officially announced the final names of the squad list who will participate in the final round of the World Cup qualifiers against Ghana; Mohamed Salah’s name was excluded from it.
The Egyptian national football team, headed by Hector Cuper, announced the names of the nine players in the Egyptian league that will join the team training camp for Ghana’s match in the African qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup.
Egypt is scheduled to face Ghana on November 12 in a casual game, as the Pharaohs have already qualified for the 2018 World Cup in the fifth round of the qualifiers.
The nine local players are:
From Al-Ahly: Sherif Ekramy, Ahmed Fathi, Abdullah Al Saeed, Saad Samir, Mo’men Zakaria, and Ramy Rabia.
From Zamalek: Ahmed Al Shenawy, Tarek Hamed, and Ali Gabr.
The Argentinean Hector Cuper decided to exclude Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah from joining the next training camp, to prevent the player from burning out by having him play in too many games. Salah is currently playing in both the Premier League and Champions League.

• Mahmoud Abdel Razek “Shikabala” (Al Raed, Saudi Arabia)
