Omar Marmoush News: Expected to start on bench

Marmoush is expected to be left out of Egypt's starting lineup for Tuesday's clash against Argentina, according to journalist Ahmed Abdul Baset.

Marmoush has struggled to make an impact at the World Cup, failing to score or find an assist through four appearances and managing just one shot on target from 11 attempts overall, including a missed one on one chance in the penalty shootout win over Australia. His underwhelming form appears to have cost him his starting spot as Egypt shifts its approach ahead of a difficult matchup with Argentina. If he does not feature from the opening whistle, expect Marmoush to be introduced later as a substitute option off the bench.
