Egypt's national football team held their sole training session in Mbaban on Monday a day ahead of facing eSwatini in the 2019 African Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The Pharaohs duo Mohamed Elneny and Amro Tarek, who took part in the training session, were cleared fit for the match.
The Pharaohs, who departed Cairo on Sunday, crushed eSwatini 4-1 at home on Friday in the third round of the qualifiers.
Midfielder Mohamed Elneny and left back Amro Tarek had been doubtful for Tuesday’s match after suffering muscle problems during Friday’s victory.
“Our 23 players participated in Monday’s training session and they all appeared fit and ready for Tuesday’s game,” read a statement by the Egyptian Football Association (EFA).
Egypt will be missing star winger Mohamed Salah in the return math against eSwatini after the Liverpool star picked up a groin injury in the first leg in Cairo.
Egypt are second of Group J with six points, three behind leaders Tunisia, while eSwatini comes third with just one point.
