Liverpool ace Salah is of course the star turn as Rui Vitoria’s side look to win the tournament for the first time since 2010.

Eintracht Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush, however, is emerging as something of a star and there is a hope that all of Egypt's attacking options can hit the ground running in the Ivory Coast.

In fine form at club level, the 24-year-old could perhaps ease the burden on Liverpool superstar Salah as he finally looks to seal AFCON glory.

Egypt XI: El Shenawy; Hany, Abdelmonem, Hegazi, Hamdy; Elneny, H. Fathi, Zizo; Salah, Mohamed, Trezeguet
