Wigan captain Sam Morsy who was sent out in on loan to Barnsley at the start of the 2016/17 campaign, reflects on Egypt’s journey to the World Cup in Russia this year, magic Mohamed Salah, and his World Cup aspirations…
It’s been a whirlwind couple of seasons for Sam Morsy, but having captained Wigan to the Sky Bet League One title in his first full season at the DW Stadium, the 26-year-old finds himself on the brink of fulfilling his World Cup dream after being named in Egypt’s preliminary squad
“I always paid attention and waited. I didn’t really envisage playing at a World Cup but I guess that’s the crazy game of football. It will be an honour but, of course, I’ve still got to make the final 23-man squad. I’ve got to try and compete and make sure I’m in there.” he said.
