Egypt is participating in the inaugural Winsunited Cup from March 22-26, featuring the Pharaohs, Croatia, Tunisia, and New Zealand. Despite Mohamed Salah’s absence from Liverpool’s 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday, the 31-year-old seems likely to join the team in the UAE. However, the Egyptian Football Association (FA), which rejected Liverpool’s request to rest Salah, stated that his participation in the competition is not guaranteed if he is not fit.
The Egyptian FA stated, “We have already received a letter from Liverpool to exempt Mohamed Salah from the upcoming camp due to his injury. We sent the name of Mohamed Salah among the professional players that we are requesting to include in the next camp a few days ago. It is our right to include any professional player as long as it is at the time of the international agenda, and the issue of whether or not to include him is in the hands of the national team’s technical staff, led by Hossam Hassan. It is still too early to decide the matter, and if Mohamed Salah plays any match in the time before the start of the camp, we will adhere to his inclusion, and he will be examined and his readiness determined by the medical staff of the Egyptian national team.”
Salah sustained a hamstring injury while playing for Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations in January but returned to action against Brentford last month. However, he has missed Liverpool’s last four matches due to a recurrence of the injury. As Liverpool aims for an historic quadruple, they cannot afford further injuries to Salah.
Manager Jurgen Klopp mentioned that Salah will resume training next week ahead of Liverpool’s Premier League clash against Manchester City on Sunday (March 10). However, it remains uncertain whether Salah will be fit for that game or their Europa League last 16 tie away to Sparta Praha on Thursday.
