Salah-less Egypt are capable of beating Nigeria, says Tito Garcia

Egypt are ready to stun to Nigeria with 'their crop of young players' in Tuesday's international friendly game, assistant coach Tito Garcia has disclosed.

The Pharaohs are without their star player Mohamed Salah for the tie in Asaba but Kasimpasa winger Mahmoud Trezeguet and Arsenal's Mohamed Elneny led a youthful team that features home-based players to Nigeria on Sunday night.

Although both teams have qualified for the Africa Cup of Nations, Garcia is aware of the qualities in the Super Eagles and has highlighted the importance of the game to the north African country who will host continent in June.
