The duo of Mustafa Shikshak, a player for Al Ahli Tripoli, and Mahmoud Mamdouh, a forward for Modern Sport, are on the radar of Hossam Hassan, the head coach of the Egyptian national team, ahead of the training camp scheduled for next November.
The coaching staff of the Egyptian national team aims to take advantage of the two matches against Malawi during the upcoming break to give opportunities to some new names as part of their plan to reduce the average age of the players.
The Egyptian national team, led by Hossam Hassan, will face Malawi on November 13 and 17 in the third and fourth rounds of the Africa Cup of Nations 2027 qualifiers. The matches will take place after the start of winter time in Egypt, which begins on Friday, October 30.
According to winter time, the third round match between Egypt and Malawi will kick off at 9 PM Cairo time at Cairo Stadium.
Meanwhile, the fourth round match between the two teams in Malawi will start at 3 PM Cairo time, as the time will be the same between Egypt and Malawi after the implementation of winter time, meaning there will be no time difference between the two countries.
