Egypt Squad Covid-19 Tests Come Back Negative ahead of AFCON Final

The entire Egypt national team squad has tested negative for Covid-19 ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final against Senegal.

The Egypt squad underwent the test on Friday and they all came back negative. However, this doesn’t mean that the Pharaohs will be in full force as right back Omar Kamal was suspended for the accumulation of yellow cards.

Egypt reached the AFCON final after beating hosts Cameroon 3-1 in the semi-final to book a spot in the final against Senegal.

The Teranga Lions, on the other hand, beat Burkina Faso 3-1 to reach their third ever final.
