Making it third on our list is the 6 feet tall Aston Villa player, Ahmed Elmohammady. Unlike the previous names, he has been playing in England for the last eight years. The Aston Villa right-back has the ability to play even in the right midfield position, and his solid build can be a threat to the opposition.

The 30-year-old has represented the nation 76 times scoring 2 goals in the process. The Brazilians might remember him as the guy who deliberately handled Lucio's goal-bound effort in the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup. But he has improved a lot and recovered 177 balls for the Villans in 36 appearances this season.

So, when the Uruguayans attack through the left flank, the Egyptians will look to Ahmed Fathy to stop them.
