Arsenal Midfielder, Mohamed Elneny is fit after missing the last two matches for Egypt against Morocco and Burkina Faso in the quarter final and semi final of Afcon 2017 after injuring his calf in training.“Mohamed Elneny has a big chance to play in the final,” Egypt doctor Ayman Aboul-Ela told ON Sports TV on Wednesday.
Left-back Abdel-Shafi, who sustained an ankle injury in Egypt’s 1-0 group-stage win over Uganda, still out of service.
Egypt has a long list of injuries that also includes keeper Ahmed El-Shenawi and strikers Marwan Mohsen and Ahmed Kouka.
It’s not yet clear whether Sporting Braga striker Kouka will be available for the final as he suffers from pelvic problems.
Egypt will need to beat Cameroon just like they did in 2008 to win the Caf Africa Cup of Nations after seven triumph.
