Mohamed Salah has recovered from a hamstring strain and been included in Egypt’s line-up to take on an unchanged Australia in the World Cup round of 32 on Friday.
● Salah had been a doubt this week although he did take part in training in the build-up to the match.
● Omar Marmoush returns to the starting team up front alongside Salah in place of Mahmoud Trezeguet.
● Left back Ahmed Fatouh and central defender Mohamed Abdelmonem miss out through injury, with Karim Hafez and Yasser Ibrahim taking their places.
● Hamdy Fathy has recovered from injury and will sit in front of the back four. Marawan Attia slots into the midfield.
● The Australians keep the same side that drew with Paraguay in their final group game, having made six changes going into that match.
● Experienced attacker Mathew Leckie is still sidelined due to injury.
