Blues skipper Sam Morsy has been left out of the Egypt squad for their Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Malawi this month.
The 31-year-old was named on a preliminary list of overseas call-ups earlier this month but has been left out of the final party.
Town’s game at Barnsley next week has been postponed due to the Blues having three international calls, Wes Burns and Nathan Broadhead for Wales, while Greg Leigh is set to be included in the Jamaica squad.
