Mohamed Salah has stirred doubts about his future with the Egyptian national team following their failure to qualify for the World Cup. In comments to his team in a video published by Egypt’s ministry of youth and sports, the Liverpool forward said how proud he was of the team, “whether I’m here or not.” The Pharoahs lost to Senegal 1-3 in a penalty shootout on Tuesday.
The video shows Salah addressing his teammates in the locker room after their gruelling defeat, saying: “I told the players yesterday [before the match] that I am proud to have played with them, and that they’re among the best I have played with. There isn’t much to say, but it has been an honour to play with you, whether or not I’m here.”
