Musa said the Pharaohs should be troubled about the danger posed by Chukwueze.
He added that the latest version of Super Eagles is more experienced than the previous versions ever.
Musa said: “Experience is going to help us a lot. In Egypt, we had only two players that had been in the AFCON, me and Kenneth Omeruo, and then we finished in the third position.”
“Definitely, I know everybody will be talking about Salah but if you look at our own side we have a lot of players they would be worried about.
He added: “They have to think about our own players. They only talk about Salah but we have Chukwueze, a lot of players from the wings that are more dangerous, so their own defenders too will be thinking about us.”
