Shehata to name unchanged squad for Zambia qualifier

The former Zamalek star has already recalled seven abroad-based players for the eagerly-anticipated game, which takes place on March 29th.

"I decided to name all the international players, even those who are not regularly featuring for their clubs," Shehata told the official website of the Egyptian FA.

"I don't want to make any changes to the team in the meantime."

Premiership trio Amr Zaki, Mido and Mohamed Shawky, who have been kept on the fringes nearly for two months, have been recalled to the Pharaohs' squad.

Essam Al-Hadari, Mohamed Zidan, Hosni Abd-Rabou and Emad Meteb completed the seven-man list.

The rest of the selection will be announced on Saturday March 21st.
