Liverpool’s Egyptian international, Mohamed Salah, delivered a poignant message on Monday, extending Christmas wishes and reflecting on the stark realities faced by many in the Middle East.
Salah, through his social media account on “X”, expressed, “Christmas is the time when families come together to celebrate.”
He continued, “With the ongoing brutal war in the Middle East, particularly the death and destruction in Gaza, we celebrate this year’s Christmas with heavy hearts, sharing the pain of families grieving the loss of their loved ones.”
In conclusion, Salah urged, “Please, do not forget them, and do not become desensitized to their suffering… Merry Christmas.”
Mohamed Salah is gearing up to join the Egyptian national team camp for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast. This follows Liverpool’s Premier League fixture against Newcastle United scheduled for January 1, 2024.
It’s worth noting that Salah currently holds the second position in the Premier League’s top scorers’ chart with 11 goals, trailing behind Erling Haaland of Manchester City by a margin of 3 goals.
