The Confederation of African Football, CAF, has suspended Egyptian midfielder Marwan Attia and forward Salah Mohsen for their third-place encounter with Nigeria's Super Eagles. The duo were penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct after Egypt's semi-final loss to Senegal, with Attia suggesting referees were bribed and Mohsen making mocking gestures toward journalists. Egypt will face Nigeria at the Mohammed V Stadium in Casablanca on Saturday at 5pm Nigeria time. Will this suspension affect Egypt's chances against the Super Eagles?
