Egypt face England in a friendly at Wembley on Wednesday.
“Wayne Rooney is a big name and an excellent player but my players should not be afraid of him,” said Shehata.
“The English team is not just Rooney. They have Emile Heskey, Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard as well.
“But we should gain more confidence from playing against these stars and England should not underestimate us.”
