He scored a penalty goal.. hoo-rah!
Come on, you think that is what he aimed for? Egypt should have qualified from that group. They have massively failed, and his injury is part of the let down.
It was highly questionable if Mo was indeed ready for the tournament after such an injury.
Egypt would be willing to forego any anxieties about his fitness and his inclusion in the squad would be a massive boost.
The player's sense of patriotism would be extremely hard if not impossible to suppress.
For the above reasons it was a certainty he would play.
