The Pharaohs are in danger of possibly not showing up for the tournament, as there are only eleven players available for the match.

Amid the coronavirus pandemic, Confederation of African Football regulations allow teams to participate in the tournaments if they have a non-infected starting eleven alongside four other substitutes.
