“We’ll try end our World Cup campaign in the best possible way, all the players want to play, there’s no question about that. Every single player is interested, is keen, has the expectation and the motivation to play,” Cuper said at the post-match press conference.

Egypt have yet to register a point in Group A, having lost their opening two matches. They will play the third and final group game in Volgograd on June 25 against Saudi Arabia.

The 2018 FIFA World Cup kicked off on June 14 and will continue until July 15, with the matches being played in 11 cities across Russia.
