Man City will reject Egypt request for early Marmoush release

Egypt have a camp planned ahead of December's Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. But City are insisting Marmoush is unavailable.

Marmoush could miss up to 10 matches for City if Egypt to reach the latter stages of AFCON.

Egypt have a friendly against Nigeria on December 14, but City meet Crystal Palace on the same day. As such, they will insist Marmoush is a required player.

But he will be released to Egypt's squad after the Palace game.
