Pierre Wome returns to the Cameroon squad

One team that will hope to take advantage of the Ivory Coast's 0-0 draw with Libya wil be Cameroon, who are away to a Benin team that is yet to win a match at home.

The Indomitable Lions are second in the group but are four points behind the Ivorians and are in danger of missing out on their first World Cup finals since 1986.

To avoid this Portuguese coach Artur Jorge hopes to field a strong team for the Cotonou encounter.

GROUP THREE FIXTURES Libya 0-0 Ivory Coast Benin v Cameroon (Sat 1600 GMT). Egypt v Sudan (Sun 1800 GMT)

Eric Djemba Djemba who missed the previous qualifier because of injury is back in the team while Pierre Wome returns after a three-year absence.

In the other match in the group bottom-placed Sudan face Egypt who seemingly have little to play for.

The Pharaohs, who qualify for the 2006 Cup of Nations as hosts, appear to be out of the running for Germany, as they are five points adrift of the group leaders.

Nonetheless, Germany-based striker Mohammed Zidan looks set to end the speculation over his international football career after he played for Egypt in their 1-0 victory of Kuwait in a friendly last week.

The 23-year-old, who plays for Werder Bremen, has decided to play for the Pharaohs after he failed to acquire a Danish passport to represent Denmark where he has lived for four years.
