The Egypt keeper took no part in Monday's training session as he was given a break and trained separately the next day.

Al-Sayed will undergo medical examinations on Wednesday that will determine whether or not he's fit for the upcoming game.

Head coach Hossam Hassan announced a 20-man squad for the MCDR match.
