Omar Fayad, Egypt's defender, will miss the upcoming camp in preparation for the match against Malawi, despite being present in the previous camp.
His absence comes as the coaching staff prepares to finalize the squad for the match, relying on a group of defenders such as Mohamed Abdel-Moneim, Hossam Abdel-Meguid, and Rami Rabia.
The coaching staff has sent call-ups to several professional players, but Omar Fayad's name was not included in the list sent out last Saturday.
The coaching staff is expected to continue evaluating its defensive options as they prepare for the upcoming match, with Fayad absent from the next camp.
Egypt, led by Hossam Hassan, will face Malawi on November 13 and 17 in the third and fourth rounds of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The matches will take place after the start of winter time in Egypt, which begins on Friday, October 30.
Tarek Soliman, the assistant coach of the Egypt national team, will be responsible for leading the Pharaohs' bench in the upcoming clash against Malawi in the Africa qualifiers, following FIFA's decision to suspend head coach Hossam Hassan and his brother, team manager Ibrahim Hassan, for three official matches.
