Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah is back in Egypt and there are smiles all around.
The 27-year-old forward last featured for Egypt when the nation hosted the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in June.
Salah has an opportunity to become the nation’s joint second-highest goalscorer of all time if he manages to find the back of the net at least once against either Kenya or Comoros.
Team manager, Hossam El-Badry, has expressed that he is glad to have Salah back in the team.
El-Badry said: “It makes me happy that among the players in the squad is one of the best players in the world. Salah is a positive asset for the national team and for me and the players.”
