Town skipper Sam Morsy has been left out of the final Egypt squad ahead of their June internationals having been included in a list of overseas players released last month.
Manager Rui Vitória has left out Morsy, CF Montreal’s Ahmed Hamdi and the injured Ahmed Hegazi from Al-Ittihad from that list of seven foreign-based players announced early last week.
The Pharaohs face Guinea in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Morocco on Wednesday 14th June requiring a point to qualify for the finals which are being hosted by the Ivory Coast in January and February next year.
Four days later, the Egyptians take on South Sudan in Cairo in the first ever friendly between the countries.
Morsy, 31, made his international debut in August 2016 and has won seven Egypt caps - including a game from the bench at the 2018 World Cup finals - with his last appearance as a sub against Eswatini in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in November 2018.
The Town captain has previously been named on several similar provisional lists of overseas-based players ahead of internationals since joining the Blues but so far without making the final squad.
