Egypt head coach Hossam Hassan has made a key decision as preparations continue for the national team’s upcoming showdown against Senegal.
Hassan has decided to bring forward the start of the Pharaohs’ training camp, in a move aimed at giving the squad more time together before the high-profile clash.
The decision comes as the coaching staff looks to raise the team’s level on both the physical and tactical sides, especially with the match expected to be played at a high intensity.
Egypt are set to face Senegal in what is viewed as one of the toughest tests on the schedule, with Hassan keen to use the additional days to settle on his best options and improve cohesion inside the group.
The camp, which was originally due to begin at a later date, will now start earlier, allowing the staff to work on key details ahead of the encounter.
Hassan’s move underlines the importance attached to the Senegal fixture, as Egypt seek to deliver a strong performance in one of their most awaited matches.
