Barcelona striker Hamza Abdelkareem's Egypt role draws criticism after clash with Hossam Hassan

Barcelona striker Hamza Abdelkareem faced scrutiny over limited minutes with Egypt and an exchange with coach Hossam Hassan after scoring his first international goal.

• Abdelkareem, 18, scored his first international goal for Egypt against South Sudan but started all three matches of the break on the bench.
• Hossam Hassan and Hamza engaged in a heated exchange on the pitch after Egypt's 1-0 loss to South Africa.
• Former Al Ahly star Khaled Gadallah said Hossam Hassan erred in confronting Hamza on the pitch, saying he should have waited until the striker reached the dressing room.
• Barcelona considers Abdelkareem a promising project, with coach Hansi Flick expected to gradually increase his first-team opportunities.
