Striker Ahmed Belal is back in the national team after his performances with Konyaspor.

Belal looked to be off form while at Al-Ahly, after the nasty injury he suffered and hadn't looked to fully recover from.

It was a shame, as he had performed magnificently in the African Cup of Nations 2004; one of the few Egyptians we were albe to say that about. But it looked less and less likely for him to play any sort of role in the next Cup of Nations.

That is different now. After moving to Turkish club Konyaspor, Belal said he was determined to start scoring goals again. He did just that, and has settled very well into the Turkish League; so much the case that the Egyptian natioal team has asked for him to join their preparation camp in
December.


Shawki Ghareeb, Egypt's assistant manager, went to Turkey to take a look at the professionals there before helping Shehata pick players. Now, Ahmed Belal joins Ahmed Hassan, Abdelzaher El Saka and Beshir El Tabei at the national taem camp.

Others abroad, namely Mido, Ghaly and Abd Rabo won't be able to join the preparations at that early stage.

The squad is yet to be named, but Belal will be happy that he is right back in consideration.

But where is Ayman in all this? Where is Shikabala? Some opinions on the issue of the national team squad will be vented soon on EP...
