Team news: Mohamed Salah fitness race
Egypt captain Mohamed Salah is racing to recover from a hamstring strain, with optimism he will be fit. If ruled out, Trezeguet is expected to lead the attack. Australia are without Mathew Leckie and Jacob Italiano, both ruled out for the tournament with injuries, forcing manager Tony Popovic to reassess his attacking options.
Head-to-head record
The sides have met only twice previously. Egypt won 3-0 in a November 2010 friendly, and they drew 0-0 in the 1987 Korea Cup.
