Egypt's national team manager, Ibrahim Hassan, announced that midfielder Hamdi Fathi has suffered an injury while playing for his Qatari club Al-Wakra. As a result, Fathi will miss the national team's current camp, which is part of the preparations for the upcoming African qualifying matches against Angola and South Sudan on September 25 and 29, respectively. The team will also play a friendly match against South Africa on October 4.

According to Ibrahim Hassan, Fathi's injury makes it difficult for him to participate in the three upcoming matches, joining teammates Mahmoud Trezeguet and Yasser Ibrahim who are also out due to injuries. The national team is set to face Angola in the first round of the African qualifiers for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. The match against Angola is scheduled to take place on September 25.

The match between Egypt and Angola will kick off at 10 PM Cairo time. The encounter will be broadcast exclusively on the Qatari beIN sports channel, which has the official broadcasting rights for Confederation of African Football (CAF) events. This information was confirmed by various sources close to the Egyptian national team.

The team's camp is an essential part of their strategy to secure a spot in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. The team will face tough opponents in the qualifiers, including Angola and South Sudan.

The absence of Hamdi Fathi, Mahmoud Trezeguet, and Yasser Ibrahim will undoubtedly pose a challenge to the team's strategy and lineup. The coaching staff will need to come up with alternative plans to ensure the team's success in the upcoming matches. The team's performance in the qualifiers will be crucial in determining their chances of advancing to the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
