Egypt coach Bob Bradley has named injured duo Geddo and Hosni Abd-Rabou in his provisional squad for the World Cup qualifier against Guinea this month.

Still under rehab following serious foot and knee operations earlier this year, Geddo and Abd-Rabou are several weeks away from being match-fit.

However, Bradley decided to include the pair for the Guinea tie as Egypt gear up for the more serious final qualifying round later this year.

It is understood that the American is willing to select a similar squad to the one he will rely on when the decisive final phase takes place, which suggests that duo is unlikely to play against Guinea.

The squad include nine foreign-based players led by Al-Salmiya striker Amr Zaki, who received his first call-up for several months.

Ahli players comprise most of the roster, with no less than 13 players from the African champions.

Bradley’s 27-man list excluded players from Zamalek though as the Whites will play in the Champions League against Orlando Pirates on Sunday.
