Surprise Exit: Egypt's Mohand Lashine Leaves Angola Clash with Injury
Lashine leaves the field as Egypt chase AFCON 2025 glory.

Match Update

Mohand Lashine, Egypt's midfielder, left the Africa Cup of Nations clash against Angola tonight with an injury.

Egypt are preparing for the final group game against Angola in the 2025 AFCON, hoping to finish top or secure progression.

The Pharaohs have already sealed a knockout berth by beating Zimbabwe 2-1 and South Africa 1-0.

Injury and Substitution

Lashine started against Angola after having been on the bench for Zimbabwe and coming on as a substitute versus South Africa.

He complained of a strong knock and abdominal muscle pain that forced him off in the 62nd minute.

Mohamed Shahat came on to replace him.

Coach Hossam Hassan had rotated several men, resting core stars such as Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush.

Punchline: if injuries counted as goals, Lashine would be MVP; and if player rotations were a comedy show, Egypt would still win the title.
