Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush has been ruled out of the derby against Manchester United after suffering a knee injury while playing for Egypt.

We've almost reached the conclusion of Africa's World Cup qualifying campaign, with only two matchdays left of the continent's group stage and nine qualifiers being confirmed for the tournament in Canada-Mexico-USA next June.

While some African nations have taken major steps towards next year's tournament, some of the would-be heavyweights must now start facing up to the prospect of watching 2026's football jamboree from the outside.
