The Egyptian national team received good news regarding Karim Hafez's participation against Argentina in the Round of 16 of the World Cup after he left injured against Australia.
The Egyptian national team will face its Argentine counterpart next Tuesday in the Round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup.
FilGoal.com has learned that Karim Hafez is ready for the Argentina match, after suffering from slight muscle fatigue that did not require a scan and is ready to participate in the match normally.
Thus, the player is naturally available to the technical staff and ready to participate in the match without any obstacles, providing an important morale boost for the Egyptian national team before the anticipated confrontation.
Karim was injured in the 80th minute against Australia and was replaced by Mahmoud Hassan "Trezeguet," who completed the match as a left-back.
The 30-year-old has played 11 international matches for the Egyptian national team since his debut in 2015.
Egypt defeated Australia in the Round of 32 on penalties after the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
The Egyptian national team suffered in the left-back position as Ahmed Fattouh sustained a muscle injury against Iran in the group stage.
The match between Egypt and Argentina will be held at the Atlanta Stadium next Tuesday, July 7, at 7:00 PM Cairo time.
