CAIRO: Zamalek goal keaper Abdel-Wahed Al-Sayed feels delighted after earning a long-awaited call-up to the Egypt national team, following his injury problems.
Al-Sayed, who was hampered by injuries throughout the past two years, was selected by Hassan Shehata for next weekend s World Cup qualifier against Djibouti.
I am glad to be back in the national after my injury problems. It took me around a year to fully recover, he told FilGoal.com.
I don’t care about taking part in the game against Djibouti, the most important thing is that I am back in the squad.
The 30-year-old had a ligament operation last year and has been out of the international scene since April 2007.
Al-Sayed could take Essam Al-Hadari s place between the posts, as Egypt have already booked their ticket to the final round of the qualifiers.
