Shawky In But No Mido For EgyptShawky has been named in Egypt's provisional squad for next month's African Nations Cup in Ghana - but his Boro team-mate Mido has not.
Shawky is included even though he has yet to start a Barclays Premier League game for Boro, while Mido has been out of action since the defeat at Chelsea on October 20 with a pubic bone problem.
However, he is now back in training and there is a chance he will play a part in the competition, especially if Egypt make the latter stages.

Manager Gareth Southgate said: "That could change, but it's unlikely that Mido is going to play before the middle of January so he won't really have played any games, so they will have that in mind."
The tournament begins on January 20 and the final takes place in Accra on February 10.
