Egypt coach Hector Cuper has revealed that he knows his lineup that will face Nigeria in March when both sides meet in a crucial 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
Cuper revealed this to the Egyptian Football Association official website after the Pharaohs finished their two friendly games against Jordan and Libya last week.
Jordan beat Egypt 1-0 in the first test game before the Pharaohs rallied back to beat Libya 2-0 in the following game which Cuper used to test a wholly local based side.
The Argentine coach said that he has seen a couple of players that will join up with the foreign-based players to be invited to the game against the Super Eagles
“We gained a lot from the camp. We played two games and managed to know everything about the old and new players,” Cuper told efa.com.eg
“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 I have already decided on the line-up which will face Nigeria,” Cuper added.
Egypt top Group G of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers with six points. Nigeria is second, two points behind Egypt while Tanzania is third and Chad sits bottom of the group
