Barakat, Treika face late fitness test
Hatem Maher Published in FilGoal on 02 - 09 - 2009

Egypt midfield duo Mohamed Abou-Treika and Mohamed Barakat are facing a race against time to be fit for Saturday's crucial World Cup qualifier at Rwanda.
Classy playmaker Abou-Treika sustained a knee problem during training while his Ahli teammate and versatile midfielder Barakat picked up a pelvic injury.
Both men will have a fitness test on Thursday to determine whether they can take part in the anticipated encounter.
Egypt coach Hassan Shehata will be keeping his fingers crossed for the influential duo after seeing several of his regulars ruled out of the match.
Strike duo Amr Zaki and Emad Meteb are unavailable through injury, while Mohamed Zidan was excluded as a disciplinary action for missing last month's friendly with Guinea.
Zamalek frontman Mido was also left out of the squad due to lack of match fitness.
Egypt's squad boasts several inexperienced strikers, including ENPPI's Ahmed Raouf and Petrojet's Al-Sayed Hamdi.
The Pharaohs lie second in Group C with four points, three behind leaders Algeria with three matches to go.
Any stumble for Egypt against Rwanda, Zambia or Algeria in their remaining games will seriously diminish their chances of reaching the World Cup for the first time since 1990.
Only the group winners will book a place in South Africa finals.
