Monday sees the start of
the final round of group games at the World Cup.
Egypt take on Saudi Arabia
with both sides already eliminated from the World Cup.
Both Egypt and Saudi Arabia
have lost their opening two matches in Russia.
Is Mohamed Salah about to
quit Egypt?
On Monday morning fears
have been heightened that Liverpool star Mohamed Salah is about to retire from
international football.
Egypt started on the
backfoot as Liverpool star Mohamed Salah was unable to play in their opener
against Uruguay.
Despite a steady
performance for much of the match, Egypt let in a late goal against the South
Americans from a corner.
Egypt were dumped out the
competition following a 3-1 defeat against Russia.
Salah played against the
World Cup hosts and he scored from the spot late on.
However, off the pitch
Salah has come under criticism for his activities in Russia. In particular,
Salah is in trouble for meeting Chechnya leader Ramzan Kadyrov before the World
Cup start.
Liverpool’s Salah is
unhappy
The Times have now revealed
Salah may hang up his boots for Egypt because of the Kadyrov backlash:
Mohamed Salah is
considering retiring from international football according to sources close to
the Liverpool forward after becoming increasingly concerned that his image and
reputation are being used for political purposes by the Egyptian football
authorities.
He has previously clashed
with the Egypt FA over the use of his image rights and the 26-year-old is
understood to be furious that he has unwittingly become associated with a
divisive political figure and has questioned his future with the team.
A few days ago the
Liverpool star turned to social media to try to squash the negative rumours.
He
wrote:
Everyone in Egypt is
together and there is absolutely no disagreement between us. We respect each
other and the relationship is great.
Nevertheless the Salah
rumours persist.
