Egypt are preparing for their World Cup 2026 Round of 32 meeting with Australia while monitoring Mohamed Salah's fitness after he suffered a hamstring strain during the 1-1 draw with Iran.
Ahmed Fatouh is also a doubt with a muscle problem, while Mohamed Abdelmonem continues preparations despite an ankle bruise, according to recent media reports on the team camp.
Despite the possible absences, Egypt's focus remains on the strength of the group after finishing second in Group G with five points and setting up a Dallas clash with Australia on July 3.
There is still no verified official wording for a direct quote saying the absences will not affect Egypt, so the availability of the injured players remains under follow-up until an official update is issued.
