Egypt’s predicted lineup for the clash against Nigeria has thrown up several surprises, in the wake of the blow dealt by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
The developments come after CAF’s decision shocked the Egypt camp, forcing changes that could affect the team’s plans ahead of the match.
According to expectations, the starting XI may see adjustments in more than one position, with the coaching staff looking to balance the side after the latest setback.
The anticipated shape suggests there could be fresh faces given a chance, while some regular starters are not guaranteed a place this time as Egypt prepare to face Nigeria.
Egypt are set to approach the game with caution against strong opposition, but the predicted lineup indicates the team could still rely on key names to keep its edge.
The final selection will be confirmed closer to kick-off, as Egypt aim to respond on the pitch and move past the CAF blow when they take on Nigeria.
