Ahli winger Mohamed Barakat has been excluded from the 20-man squad announced by Egypt manager Hassan Shehata for the friendly against Ivory Coast on August 22nd. The versatile midfielder has been a key figure in Egypt's 2006 African Nation's Cup triumph, but he has no place in the Egypt roster for now. A surprise inclusion in the squad was the name of ENPPI youngster Ahmed Mohammadi, who is yet to make a full international debut. Zamalek star Mahmoud Abdul-Razek 'Shikabala' was automatically dropped as he is serving a one-year ban imposed by the Egyptian Football Association (EFA). The Egyptian team will fly on Sunday to France, where the international friendly should take place. The full list Goalkeepers: Essam Al-Hadari (Ahli), Mohamed Abdul-Monsef (Zamalek), Sherif Ekramy (Feyenoord). Defenders: Wael Gomaa, Shadi Mohamed (Ahli), Sayed Moawad, Hani Saied (Ismaili), Ahmed Abou-Mosallam (Strasbourg), Ahmed Fathi (Sheffield United), Ibrahim Saied (Ankaragucu). Midfielders: Mohamed Abou-Treika, Mohamed Shawki (Ahli), Omar Gamal (Ismaili), Hosni Abd-Rabou (Strasbourg), Ahmed Hassan (Anderlecht), Hossam Ghaly (Tottenham).
