Marmoush is the player who finally takes the lone-striker burden off Salah’s shoulders. His Frankfurt breakout was no fluke; the City move and his half-season under Guardiola have refined the rough edges, and he now offers Egypt something they have lacked since the prime of Mido — a top-five-league center forward who scores at international level.
In the Egyptian attack he plays the central role: stretching back lines so Salah can drift inside, finishing the chances his captain creates. The partnership produced six goals between them in 2025 qualifying. If they replicate that strike rate in North America, Egypt have a knockout-round ceiling.
Strengths
