Starting line-ups:

South Korea: Seung-gyu Kim, Tae-hwan Kim, Young-gwon Kim, Kyung-won Kwon, Jin-su Kim, Seung-beom Ko, Woo-young Jung, Chang-hoon Kwon, Seung-ho Paik, Ui-jo Hwang, Heung-min Son

Egypt: Mohamed El-Shenawi, Omar Gaber, Yasser Ibrahim, Mahmoud El-Wensh, Omar Kamal, Amr El-Sualya, Mohanad Lasheen, Ahmed Refaat, Ahmed Hamdi, Ibrahim Adel, Mostafa Mohamed

12:30 Tottenham Hotspur forward Heung-min Son leads South Korea's attack. 

12:20 Egypt coach Galal gives Canada-based forward Ahmed Hamdi his first cap in a much-changed line-up. Galatasaray striker Mostafa Mohamed is the only other foreign-based player in the starting 11. 

11:55 Today's game is a part of South Korea's preparations for the 2022 World Cup games.

11:50 “We will show the value of Egyptian players, as we want to put on a superb performance that suits the people of the two countries,” the Egypt added.

11:35 Galal announced that he is working with his players so that they may put on a superb performance against South Korea and show their true value and talents.

“We are working to introduce an organised plan as well as recalling the soul of the Pharaohs in the friendly against South Korea,” Galal said in the pre-game press conference.


11:15 Egypt will be missing several key players like Liverpool's Mohamed Salah, Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny, Aston Villa's Trezeguet, Stuttgart winger Omar Marmoush and Ittihad of Jeddah defender Ahmed Hegazi to add more woes on under-fire coach Galal. 

 Ahly duo Hamdi Fathi and Mohamed Abdel-Moneim and Zamalek duo Emam Ashour and Ahmed Fatouh have been ruled out with injuries.

11:00 Under Galal's guidance, the Pharaohs secured an unconvincing 1-0 win over Guinea in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers before conceding a humiliating 2-0 defeat against Ethiopia.

10:45 The 54-year-old Galal, who was appointed in May, has just been in charge of Egypt for two games, but he came under heavy criticism for the team's clear poor performance.

10:15 Egypt will face South Korea in a friendly in Seoul on Tuesday; a gam that could be the last one for the Pharaohs coach Ehab Galal.
