"At 33, it is arguably Salah's last chance to win an elusive trophy with Egypt and add international honours to an impressive collection of medals at club level. I believe Salah will be among the best players at the tournament, and he will remain an icon and one of the best players in the world. I support him technically and morally, because we cannot forget that Salah needs to win the Africa Cup of Nations, Hassan added."
"Salah goes into Monday's match having last started for Liverpool in their 4-1 home loss to PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League at the end of November. He was dropped for the next game against West Ham United, and after a draw with Leeds United on December 6, lashed out at the club and Liverpool coach Arne Slot, telling journalists he felt he had been made a scapegoat for their poor start to the season and suggested that he may not have long left at Anfield."
Mohamed Salah is focused on winning his first Africa Cup of Nations with Egypt and has put recent Liverpool travails behind him. His morale in training is described as very high and he is expected to have a strong tournament. At 33, this campaign represents a key opportunity to add international honours to his club achievements. A recent omission from the Liverpool starting lineup triggered a heated outburst and apology, but those events have not affected his form for the national team. Communication with Salah remained constant during the controversy, and he will partner Omar Marmoush up front for Egypt.
