Blues skipper Sam Morsy won his ninth full cap as Egypt were beaten 3-1 by Tunisia in a friendly in Cairo this evening.

The 32-year-old came on as an 86th-minute sub for the Pharaohs, picking up his second cap in five days following an international hiatus of almost five years.

Morsy is the last of the nine Town players who have been away on international duty to see match action.

Jugsy added 00:04 - Sep 13 Whilst Morsy is a great many things, an impact sub is probably not one. Egypt would have benefited from starting him. Their loss, our gain!

Lion added 10:07 - Sep 13 Who are their centre midfielders though, particularly the holding / CDM? They must be awesome to keep Sam out, we should sign them if possible immediately! ;0)

Lion added 12:46 - Sep 13 We probably couldn't compete with wages if they play in Saudi league! Zizo ( of Zamalek ) is an awesome name though! ;0)

PhuketPete added 18:14 - Sep 13 I just hope we don’t lose Sam for 4-5 weeks when Egypt competes in that big tournament next year (African Cup of Nations?)... just for him to sit on a bench and play 5 min cameo’s. Either play him properly or leave him with us !!
