Anyone know much about the Pharaohs? Sounds like their 19 domestic based players are already in camp, and the 6 foreign based guys (sans Mo Salah) join up next week. So they are going to be very well prepared (more prepared than the AWs), especially since they have had 5 games together as recently as January with AFCON. AWs reassembling for the first time in 4 months.
How fit is Garbett after his shoulder dislocation? Played 35 mins on the weekend for Breda. Be interesting to see if he starts this weekend.
I'd go a bit more defensive with Lewis starting ahead of Garbs, especially if the latter is again only off the bench for his club this weekend. Like Martin also worry Old & Garbett could take up the same space sometimes.

This is an old tweet, before Salah was ruled out, but lists their foreign based cohort.
