To say to your country on the eve of a tournament that you’re not making yourself available? |  |

Yes.
Do you have any further questions? |  | | |

Egypt would be within their rights to call him up still, which could lead to FIFA banning him for the entirety of the time that he would have been away. |  | | |

Can do what he wants. |  |

They'd either have to really want him there, or be spiteful enough about it to lose a squad place to do that.
I don't think either situation applies. |  |

Of course he *can*, but should he? If Watson is to be believe he hasn’t retired from internationals. | |

Yes |
And doubly so if your likely inclusion is going to be limited to sitting on the bench, and getting perhaps nine minutes across the tournament. |  |

It sounds even worse when you put it like that. | |

Worth pointing out that Egypt say they have received no such undertaking. Think he was always an outsider for the squad having not been included in the previous two.

You can do, but I don't think they care if you are available or not mate |  |

Would be a bit different if it was Mo Salah but for someone who is on the fringes it doesn't really matter. |  |

Most likely already knew that he wasn't in the final squad, after speaking with their staff, and discussing it thoroughly before making the decision to announce it himself..
If you listen to Mass' interview, he announced his retirement from International football, as a way of "bossing" the situation, himself. And being in control of it, instead of being dicked about (to put it bluntly)..
I can imagine Morsy chatting with Mass/KM/ Egypt staff/ any mates he's got in their squad, and then just deciding to be the boss of it..
Quit sure if he was integral to their first 11, he would be on the plane. And club would have come 2nd, naturally... |  | | |
