Ramy Rabia

Struggles aerially in start

Rabia recorded one tackle (zero won) and six clearances in Friday's 1-1 draw versus Iran.

Analysis: Rabia came into the centre of defence to cover for the injured Hamdy Fathy and did an acceptable job for the most part. The one concern was his aerial duel record as he won only two of eight, a disappointing return in an area where he would be expected to dominate. He was solid enough in other aspects though, contributing one tackle, one block and six clearances while completing 81 passes throughout the game.
