Egypt lost the African Cup of Nations final to watch on as Senegal finally lifted the trophy after so many nearly moments.
Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny struck a dejected figure as he watched his compatriot Mohamed Salah’s Liverpool teammate Sadio Mane lift the coveted trophy. The Gunners will now welcome Elneny back to the club as the final of their AFCON absentees to finish their midseason commitments.
Nicolas Pepe and Thomas Partey have already returned, the latter even being sent off prior to Elneny re-joining the fray. Whilst Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang managed to join up with the Gabon international side, return and leave the club on a free transfer to Barcelona.
