Egypt takes on Ghana in the Africa Cup of nations final match
Egypt will be seeking a record seventh Africa Cup of Nations title when they play Ghana in the final today.
They will be hampered by the absence of suspended striker Mahmoud Fathallah, while Emad Moteab is an injury doubt.
But the Black Stars have no injury worries as they seek their fifth continental title.
Goalkeeper Richard Kingson and winger Opoku Agyemang, who suffered knocks in the 1-0 semi-final win over Nigeria, have been cleared to play.
Despite the potential absence of two key players, Egypt are the overwhelming favorites to win the game and grab a record third successive title.
The North Africans have been ruthless on their road to the final by scoring 14 goals and conceded just two.
The Pharaohs brushed aside Nigeria, Mozambique, Benin and Cameroon before thrashing arch rivals Algeria 4-0 in Thursday's tempestuous semi-final.
Egypt captain Ahmed Hassan has warned the defensive Black Stars that they will suffer a similar fate.
