Egypt defender Ahmed Hegazi will miss the rest of the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon after sustaining an adductor muscle strain.

The former West Brom centre-back was replaced at half-time by Mahmoud Trezeguet in Egypt's quarter-final win over Morocco.

The 31-year-old will fly to Germany to receive treatment.

Seven-time winners Egypt face hosts Cameroon in their semi-final on Thursday.
