Ahli striker Emad Meteb has been called up for Egypt's crunch World Cup qualifier against Algeria in November 14th, FilGoal.com understands.

The 26-year-old hasn't featured for the Pharaohs since suffering a serious knee injury last April while playing on loan at Saudi giants Ittihad.

He missed Egypt's Confederations Cup campaign and Ahli's first six league games.

His last game for Egypt was the 1-1 draw with Zambia at Cairo Staduim early in the World Cup qualifying stage.

Now Egypt coach Hassan Shehata has three experienced front-men at his disposal in Zamalek star Amr Zaki, Borussia Dortmund forward Mohamed Zidan and Meteb.
