Egypt state that manager Javier Aguirre has opted to leave Salah out of his team’s session to ensure that his ‘condition will not worsen’, with reports indicating that he is suffering from illness.
The Liverpool star is currently away in his homeland for the Africa Cup of Nations this summer.
Egypt will lock horns with South Africa on Saturday as they enter the knockout stages of the continental competition, but whether or not they will have Salah at their disposal remains to be seen.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp will be carefully monitoring his key man’s situation while he is on international duty as pre-season begins ahead of the 2019/20 campaign.
