Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has called out UEFA for not saying how a footballer known as the "Palestinian Pele" died in its tribute to him.
The Palestinian Football Association (PFA) said on Wednesday that Suleiman Al-Obeid, 41, died in an Israeli attack in Gaza.
UEFA wrote on X that he was "a talent who gave hope to countless children, even in the darkest of times".
Responding on Saturday, Egyptian star Salah wrote: "Can you tell us how he died, where, and why?"
Salah, 33, who has more than 19 million X followers, previously called for the massacres in the conflict to stop and for aid to be allowed into Gaza.
In a video posted on Instagram in October 2023, he said: "It is not always easy to speak in times like this.
Families are being torn apart."
The PFA said that Al-Obeid, who was married with two sons and three daughters, made 24 appearances for the national team, scoring twice.
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) has been approached for comment.
