The Pharaohs are set to play Bafana Bafana on Wednesday

The 20-year-old Pattison has been called up for the first time for the match at Brentford's Griffin Park in London.

Pattison, born in Johannesburg but who left for Britain while still a child, made his Newcastle debut at the end of last season.

Egypt, meanwhile, have resolved their contractual problems with the organisers of the Nelson Mandela Challenge and the match is set to go ahead.

Earlier Samir Zaher, president of the Egyptian Football Association (EFA), had told BBC Sport that he was unhappy with arrangements made by match organisers, Star Meridian.
