Egypt national team coach Hector Cuper has stated that he already has in his mind the starting line-up for next month's 2017 African
Cup of Nations qualifier against Nigeria after his camp in Aswan.
Egypt played two friendlies in the Aswan camp last week,
losing the first game against Jordan 1-0 before beating Libya 2-0 in the second
game for their preparations against Nigeria.
And the former Inter Milan and Valencia gaffer has already decided on the line up which will face Nigeria.
He said:.............
“We gained a lot from the camp. We played two games and
managed to know everything about the old and new players,” Cuper told the
Egyptian Football Association’s (EFA) official website.
“32 players have been called up to the camp. Some players
proved to deserve the call up while others were below the needed level.
We may
call up more players but I have already decided on the line up which will face
Nigeria,” Cuper added.
Egypt are currently leading Group G after winning their two
games against Tanzania and Chad.
The Pharaohs are set to face Nigeria two times
next March as they hope to make their first African Cup of Nations appearance
since 2010.
