Salah Back In Egypt Squad For Kenya Showdown

By Daily Sports on October 29, 2019

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has returned to the Egypt squad to face Kenya and Comoros in next month’s 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifiers.

The Pharaohs host Kenya in their Group G opening match on November 15, before meeting Comoros away four days later.

Headlining new Egypt coach Hossam El-Badry’s 32-man preliminary squad is the inclusion of Salah who missed the international friendly match against Botswana earlier this month due to injury.

Salah is one of the six foreign-based players who have been selected by El-Badry.

Aston Villa midfielder Mahmoud Trezeguet,

Sporting Braga forward Ahmed Kouka Hassan, West Bromwich Albion defender Ahmed Hegazi and Besiktas’ Mohamed Elneny are some of the players based outside of Egypt in the squad.

Ex- Zamalek winger Mahmoud Kahraba of Portuguese side CD Aves returns to the team for the first time since the 2018 Fifa World Cup.

Four players have been handed maiden call-ups including Zamalek winger Ahmed Sayed and Al Ahly left-back Mahmoud Wahid.

Salah comes back at a time when the national team captaincy has been a contentious issue as El-Badry was rumoured to be on the verge of breaking tradition by handing the armband to the Liverpool man who is not the most senior member of the squad.

But the coach said he will stick with custom, suggesting Al Ahly veteran right-back Ahmed Fathi will be the skipper (African Football)
