EGYPTIAN national team's Argentinean coach Hector Cuper has called-up Ahly midfielder Moemen Zakareya to replace Zamalek's Mostafa Fathi who picked up an injury on Monday.
The Egypt team is currently in a training camp ahead of their first match against Nigeria in the Africa Cup of Nations that will take place in Kaduna on March 25.
The team's second clash will be on Tuesday 29 March at home.
The seven-time African champions Egypt failed to qualify for the next three tournaments under
the helms of various managers including Hassan Shehata, his assistant Shawky Gharib and American Bob Bradley.
Cuper, 59, promised to make Egypt return to their glory days insisting he is "confident that the team is capable of overcoming Nigeria."
