Mohamed Abdelmonem, a defender for French club Nice and the Egyptian national team, has officially departed from the national team's camp. This decision was made in agreement with the team's coaching staff, led by head coach Hossam Hassan. Abdelmonem will not participate in Egypt's upcoming friendly match against South Africa scheduled for next Sunday at Cairo International Stadium.

This move comes after Abdelmonem's exit from the previous match against South Sudan in the second round of the African Cup of Nations qualifiers, which Egypt won 5-0. The coaching staff had agreed to allow him to leave the camp and return to his club.

Nice FC released an official statement expressing gratitude to the Egyptian national team's coaching staff for their understanding and cooperation in allowing Abdelmonem to leave the camp.

According to the statement from Nice FC, Abdelmonem's departure was a mutual decision aimed at preserving his physical condition and readiness. The club prioritizes the health and recovery of their players, especially those participating in international competitions. Abdelmonem will now rejoin his club and prepare for upcoming matches in optimal conditions.

The Egyptian national team, under the leadership of Hossam Hassan, continues its preparations for upcoming matches. The team's management had previously announced that they would allow Abdelmonem to leave the camp, enabling him to rejoin Nice FC. This decision reflects the collaborative approach between the club and the national team management.

Mohamed Salah, another key player for the Egyptian national team, has expressed his final position regarding the upcoming match against South Africa. However, details about his statement have not been disclosed. The Egyptian team's fans and management are eagerly awaiting the match against South Africa to assess the team's performance and readiness for future competitions.
