Morsy Named in Egypt Squad - Ipswich Town News

Town skipper Sam Morsy has been named in a 26-man final Egypt squad for their September internationals against Ethiopia and Tunisia.

The Pharoahs, who have already qualified for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations finals, will gather for a training camp from September 4th until the 12th and play the Ethiopians in their final group game in Cairo on Friday 8th September, then Tunisia four days later in a friendly.

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 provisional lists of overseas-based players ahead of internationals since joining the Blues but this is the first time he has been included in the final squad.

Morsy won't miss any Blues matches as a result of the call as there is an international break following Saturday's home game against Cardiff City.
