Mohamed Barakat is set to travel to Germany on Sunday to undergo tests on his bad knee. The Ahli midfielder has recovered after a knee surgery but needs further checks as pains attacked him again. Egypt manager Hassan Shehata had to drop Barakat from his initial and final squads for the African Cup of Nations due to this injury. Barakat will be accompanied by assistant coach Hossam Al-Badri, who is set for a knee surgery himself.
