Ibrahim Hassan, the manager of the Egyptian national football team, confirmed that Hamdi Fathi sustained an injury while with his club Al-Wakrah in Qatar, which will prevent him from joining the current national team camp aimed at preparing for matches against Angola and South Sudan, scheduled for September 25 and 29, as part of the first and second rounds of the African qualifiers for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, in addition to a friendly match against South Africa set for October 4.
Hassan added that Fathi will not be able to join the camp due to the difficulty of participating in the three matches, joining Mahmoud Trezeguet and Yasser Ibrahim, who are also absent due to injury.
The Egyptian national team will face Angola next Friday, September 25, as part of the first round of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers for the 2026/27 season.
Under the guidance of head coach Hossam Hassan, the Egyptian national team entered the camp on Thursday to begin their continental journey and face both Angola and South Sudan in the first and second rounds of the qualifiers for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
