Omar Marmoush - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Expected to start on bench Marmoush is expected to be left out of Egypt's starting lineup for Tuesday's clash against Argentina, according to journalist Ahmed Abdul Baset.

Impact Marmoush has struggled to make an impact at the World Cup, failing to score or find an assist through four appearances and managing just one shot on target from 11 attempts overall, including a missed one on one chance in the penalty shootout win over Australia. His underwhelming form appears to have cost him his starting spot as Egypt shifts its approach ahead of a difficult matchup with Argentina. If he does not feature from the opening whistle, expect Marmoush to be introduced later as a substitute option off the bench.

Misses big chance vs. Socceroos Marmoush generated two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Friday's 1-1 (5-3) penalty shootout victory over Australia.

Impact Marmoush could've allowed Egypt the extra time and shootout had he scored a one-on-one early in the second half. The Manchester City striker continues to be the main reference upfront for the Pharaohs, but his performances have been average at best. Through four World Cup appearances, Marmoush has yet to score and has tallied 11 shots, though just one of those has gone on target.

Lively off bench Marmoush registered one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Friday's 1-1 draw against Iran.

Impact Marmoush was surprisingly dropped from the starting lineup but came on at half time and picked up where he left off, causing problems and drawing fouls throughout his time on the pitch. The story of his tournament continues however as his efforts have yet to produce a goal or an assist, with one shot that failed to test the keeper and two crosses reflecting a night where the work rate was there but the end product was not. He is expected to return to the starting XI for the round of 32 against Australia, where getting off the mark will be the target against a side that kept two clean sheets across the group stage.

Shots still not converting Marmoush logged three shots (one on goal) during Egypt's 3-1 win Sunday against New Zealand.

Impact Again for the World Cup, Marmoush was positioned in front of three attacking midfielders, their trio including Emam Ashour, Mohamed Salah and Mostafa Ziko. All three have scored this WC, meaning the Egyptians' primary striker is their only non-scoring attacker thus far, at least right now. For the World Cup, his best shot was updated with a finesse effort nicely stopped by goalkeeper Maxime Teremoana Crocombe. Because of Marmoush's proven pedigree, he will continually be relied on up front, though Trezeguet may have narrowed the competition with his goal Sunday. The former's two appearances feature eight shots, four averaged per game.

Threatening display without reward Marmoush registered five shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Monday's 1-1 draw against Belgium.

Impact Marmoush led the line for Egypt and while he found himself isolated at times, he looked dangerous whenever the ball reached him and was his side's most threatening presence throughout. He finished the game with five shots and created one chance, but his decision making let him down at key moments and prevented what could have been a more decisive contribution in front of goal. With New Zealand up next, the group's weakest defensive side on paper, the conditions should be considerably more favorable for him to get back among the goals at a moment when scoring could prove decisive in the race to top the group.

Established attacker for Egypt Marmoush is set to start in the middle of Egypt's offense and should offer versatility and finishing talent during his first World Cup.

Impact Marmoush is arguably the most in-form Egyptian forward prior to the World Cup despite serving as a bench option behind Erling Haaland for Manchester City. The 27-year-old has played 50 international games throughout his career, notching 11 goals over that span. His two goals in six appearances (five starts) at AFCON 2025 demonstrated he can deliver at major tournaments, and his set-piece ability adds another dimension to his output, though he'll compete with Mohamed Salah for corners and free kicks, and should be the second option from the penalty spot behind Salah. His role operating in the shadow of Egypt's captain could work in his favor from a fantasy standpoint if defenders focus their attention on Salah, allowing Marmoush to exploit the spaces that open up and occasionally outscore his more celebrated teammate. The highlight of his last club season came from his five goals and three assists over 1214 minutes across all competitions. He'll look to stay sharp and deliver shooting numbers, especially in the more favorable fixtures of the group stage.

Back-to-back games with goal Marmoush scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Impact Marmoush entered the starting XI Wednesday as Erling Haaland was given some rest, producing a strong 79 minutes of play. Despite a few poor attempts, the forward would still earn a goal, finding the net in the 40th minute. The Egyptian now has back-to-back games with a goal, a bright spot after seeing limited time much of the campaign. He now has three goals and three assists in 20 appearances (eight starts).

Impact Marmoush would enter later in the game as a substitute Saturday, a normal role for the forward this campaign, playing 30 minutes. He would earn a rare goal for this season, set up by fellow forward Erling Haaland in the 92nd minute for the final goal of the contest. Marmoush appears to be making some bright spots in a disappointing season time-wise this campaign, as he is up to give goal contributions after netting seven goals last season, possibly hinting at a future move for the Egyptian.

Impact Marmoush would find an assist Saturday on the club's only goal of the match, finding Bernardo Silva in the 31st minute. This is his third assist of the season, with one only two league games ago. He has three assists compared to his one goal this season, a rare sight for the forward who is usually a clinical goal scorer.

Four shots, no goal Marmoush had four shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Leeds United.

Impact Marmoush would earn four shots Saturday but was unable to bag a goal in consecutive games, only seeing one of his shots hit the target. However, he does have nine shots in the past two gams, showing a decent output. The club may have to turn to him more over the next few games, with Erling Haaland (undisclosed) feared to be missing time, so it does bring solid confidence that he is finding some decent success already.

Earns assist Marmoush assisted once to go with five shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-1 win against Newcastle United.

Impact Marmoush was handed a starting role Saturday and did not waste his chance, linking up with Nico O'Reilly for a 14th-minute goal. This is his second assist of the season and is now up to three goal contributions in 15 appearances. This is the second straight start for the forward, as he has started to see more time lately, with five starts since Jan. 24, only seeing two before that this campaign.
