Another striker, Emad Metoeb, was ruled out by injury. However, Ahly midfielder Mohamed Barakat made the list for the first time since the home draw with Zambia in March.

Shehata’s 23-man squad contains a few surprises as Petrojet’s Mohamed Shaaban, Lierse’s Mohamed Al-Gabbas and Mansoura goalkeeper, Mahmoud Aboul-Saoud, earned their first call-ups.

Aboul-Saoud, along with Ittihad’s Al-Hani Soliman, team up with first-choice keeper Essam El-Hadary as injured Ahly ‘keeper, Abdul-Wahed Al-Sayed, was excluded.

The African champions are second in their qualifying group, three points behind leaders Algeria.
