Brief injury concerns over star forward Mohamed Salah were dismissed over the past week and the Liverpool player headlines Egypt’s squad for their 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying playoff against Senegal. The most anticipated matchup this week will feature high expectations for the Pharaohs, whose squad features other foreign-based stars like striker Mostafa Mohamed and Mohamed Elneny supported by a large contingent from top Egyptian clubs Al Ahly, Zamalek and Pyramids FC.
Egypt host the first leg in Cairo on March 25 and will travel to Dakar for the second leg to mark the first competitive match played at Senegal’s new Diamniadio Olympic Stadium.
