Mohamed Abdelmonem Injury: Returns to team training

Abdelmonem (ankle) returned to team training ahead of Tuesday's World Cup clash against Argentina, according to reports from Egypt's camp.

Abdelmonem appears to have recovered from the ankle issue that kept him out of Friday's penalty-shootout win over Australia. The center-back had been dealing with a heavy ankle bruise suffered against Iran, but his return to team training is an encouraging sign ahead of the round-of-16 matchup. While his availability has not yet been officially confirmed, he now has a chance to be included in the squad for Tuesday's clash against Argentina. Abdelmonem provides valuable depth in central defense and could compete for minutes if he completes preparations without any setbacks.
