The African Cup Of Nations has continued to stir views as the game grows gradually to an apex. Below is the next game and teams to play.
Egypt will be playing without their talisman Mohamed Salah, who had an injury while playing against Ghana. The team will likely rely on Mostafa Mohamed to lead the attack, as their best option.
Date: Sunday 28th January, 2024
Time: 9:00 pm
Stadium:Â Stade Laurent Pokou
Teams: Egypt VS Dr Congo
Vitoria will also have to go on without their number one goal-keeper Mohamed El-Shennawy, who sustained an injury during the play with Cape Verde.
Also, midfielder Emam Ashour has also been ruled out of this match after suffering a concussion while trying to perform an overhead kick in training during the week.
Egypt’s possible starting lineup:
Gabal; Hegazy, Abdelmonem,Hany, Fotouh; Fathi, Attia, Elneny; Mohamed, Zizo, Marmoush.
DR Congo
For Congo DR, Henock Inonga, their good defender was forced to sit out during the last game against Tanzania due to a head injury, and it is still unclear if he will be fit to feature in Sunday’s fixture against ‘The Pharaohs’.
Yoane Wissa scored The Leopards’ opening goal in this competition and will spearhead the attack once again, while Cedric Bakambu could be brought back into the starting 11 to support the Brentford attacker.
Congo DR Possible Starting Lineup:
Mpasi; Mbemba, Batubinsika,Kalulu Masuaku; Pickel, Moutoussamy;Kakuta, Silas, Bakambu; Wissa
