The match will see Wanyama battle it out with Arsenal man Mohamed Elneny at the midfield. The two have gone head-to-head before in the English Premier League clashes back when Wanyama was turning out for Southampton in England. Wanyama also faced Mohamed Salah during his time at Tottenham and even scored against the top Egyptian player. The former premier league champion tested positive for Covid-19 in November while on international duty for Egypt and missed both Egypt’s Africa Cup of Nations’ qualifiers against Togo. Mulee’s men will approach the game knowing they need to win to maintain a slim chance of qualifying for the 2021 nations cup in Cameroon.
