Egypt will fight hard to qualify – Mohamed Elneny
The Pharaohs are in dire need of a win against Russia on Tuesday to stand a chance to reach the World Cup knockout phase
Mohamed Elneny has revealed Egypt’s ambition ahead of their make or break Fifa World Cup clash with Russia.
A last-minute strike from Jose Gimenez condemned Hector Cuper’s men to a 1-0 defeat to Uruguay in their opening game – and the north Africans must avoid defeat against the hosts and Saudi Arabia should they hope to progress in the championship.
Despite the arduous task that awaits the Egyptians, the Arsenal star has vowed that his side will fight hard to navigate their way through to the Round of 16.
