Egypt have flown to Central Africa on a private jet on Friday to face their modest opponents in a must-win African Nations Cup qualifier on Saturday.

"The team will hold one training session today at 4:30 pm Cairo local time at the same venue that will host the match," the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) said on its official website.

The Pharaohs will be looking to overturn a 3-2 first-leg deficit when they meet Central Africa as they aim to avoid another failure to reach the Nations Cup.

The seven-time African champions missed out on the 2012 edition following a disappointing qualifying campaign that eventually led to the departure of coach Hassan Shehata.
