Ahmed El Fotouh Injury: Doubt to face Argentina

Fotouh (hamstring) is a major doubt for Egypt's World Cup round of 16 matchup versus Argentina on Tuesday, according to assistant manager Ibrahim Hassan, Infobae reported Sunday.

Fotouh seems unlikely to play in the next game, having yet to return to full training sessions. He missed the first playoff match against Australia after starting in each of the group-stage contests, and his continued absence would hurt the Pharaohs in defensive aspects. In that case, Karim Hafez might get another opportunity at left-back.
