Man City Plan to Keep Omar Marmoush Until Dec. 14 Before AFCON

Local reporting points to a post–Crystal Palace release pending agreement with Egypt.

Overview

Pep Guardiola says the timing of Marmoush’s release is still being negotiated with the player and the Egyptian FA.
Manchester Evening News reports City intend to retain the forward for matches against Fulham, Sunderland, Real Madrid and Crystal Palace before letting him leave.
Egypt coach Hossam Hassan wants Marmoush available for a training camp and warm‑ups, including a Nigeria friendly on December 14.
Egypt open their AFCON campaign on December 22 against Zimbabwe after a series of preparatory games in the region.
If Egypt reach the January 18 final, Marmoush could miss up to 10 City fixtures, heightening selection and rotation pressures for Guardiola.
