Ruled out against Argentina
Abdelmonem (ankle) is unavailable for Tuesday's World Cup Round of 16 clash against Argentina.
Analysis: Abdelmonem returned to team training ahead of the match and had appeared to be on track for a potential return, but he ultimately was not deemed fit enough to feature. The center-back will miss a second consecutive match after suffering a heavy ankle bruise against Iran earlier in the tournament. His absence limits Egypt's defensive depth for one of its biggest matches of the competition, though he was not expected to be a guaranteed starter. Abdelmonem's next opportunity to return will depend on both his recovery and Egypt's progression in the tournament.
Returns to team training
Abdelmonem (ankle) returned to team training ahead of Tuesday's World Cup clash against Argentina, according to reports from Egypt's camp.
Analysis: Abdelmonem appears to have recovered from the ankle issue that kept him out of Friday's penalty-shootout win over Australia. The center-back had been dealing with a heavy ankle bruise suffered against Iran, but his return to team training is an encouraging sign ahead of the round-of-16 matchup. While his availability has not yet been officially confirmed, he now has a chance to be included in the squad for Tuesday's clash against Argentina. Abdelmonem provides valuable depth in central defense and could compete for minutes if he completes preparations without any setbacks.
