I can’t verify the exact count from the available information here, so I don’t want to guess. The most reliable source I found is a 2026 Egypt World Cup squad preview, which confirms the squad context but doesn’t give a clean Big 5 league breakdown in the snippet alone.

What I can say

  • Egypt’s 2026 World Cup squad is official, and Mohamed Salah is the headline player.
  • A broader 2026 World Cup squads-by-the-numbers piece suggests league representation data exists, but the snippet I have doesn’t isolate Egypt’s Big 5 count.
  • So the exact number of Egyptian World Cup players in the Big 5 leagues is still unconfirmed from the sources available in this turn.

Best next step

The cleanest way to answer this precisely is to check the full squad list against each player’s club league and count only England, Spain, Italy, Germany, and France. SORRY, FAILED
