This Friday, Australia and Egypt will meet at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas for their round of 16 clash at this 2026 World Cup.

For this showdown, Australian manager Tony Popovic will be without Leckie and Italiano, who are sidelined with injuries. Hossam Hassan, meanwhile, must cope with Lasheen’s suspension and Fatouh’s injury. Salah has recovered from his hamstring problem and is expected to start the match.

Here are the probable lineups for both teams:

Australia: Beach - Bos, Circati, Souttar, Herrington, Behich - O'Neill, Irvine - Metcalfe, Touré, Irankunda.
