Egypt are set for two warm-up meetings against Cameroon and Senegal as part of this month's friendly tour in Morocco, according to assistant manager Diaa Al-Sayed. Bob Bradley's men, who will meet Lebanon in another warm-up game on Friday, are due to fly to Morocco midway in May for a one-week camp that would see them take on Cameroon, Togo and Senegal respectively. “We will face Cameroon on 18 this month but they'll play with their local-based players upon our request; we do not want to start with a tough game,” Al-Sayed told Modern Sport TV. “The following fixtures would be against Togo and Senegal who should play with their foreign-based players on 22 and 24 May respectively.” Based on Al-Sayed's claim, Egypt would face a tough challenge against a full-strength Senegal side, which includes the likes of Papiss Cisse and Demba Ba of Newcastle. It remains to be seen whether Ahli players will be included in the national team camp as the Reds have a friendly with Spanish side Espanyol on the same day of the Cameroon fixture. The Pharaohs gear up for the 2014 World Cup and 2013 CAN qualifiers next month, starting with Mozambique meeting on June 2.
