Mohamed Salah, the star of the Egyptian national team, has clarified his stance on returning to the Pharaohs’ camp in Cote d’Ivoire to continue the journey with the team in the Africa Cup of Nations finals before departing for England.
This comes after sustaining a hamstring injury during Egypt’s match against Ghana in the second round of the tournament’s group stage.
A source within the Egyptian national team revealed, “Mohamed Salah spoke yesterday with his teammates during his farewell ceremony from the national team camp, stating that he will return to the Pharaohs once they reach the final of the Africa Cup of Nations 2023, whether on the field or off it.”
The source added, “Mohamed Salah will undoubtedly remain in constant communication with the Egyptian national team players, offering his support even after leaving the camp and heading to England.”
Salah, who is currently a crucial figure in Liverpool, opted to leave the national team camp temporarily to undergo further treatment for his hamstring injury, aiming to expedite his recovery process.
The unexpected announcement from Salah has left the Egyptian squad motivated and reassured about their star player’s commitment to the team’s success.
Salah’s determination to potentially rejoin the team in the later stages of the tournament has injected a sense of optimism among both players and fans.
