The Egyptian Football Association (FA) has released a supportive message for Mohamed Salah amid increasing tensions between the Liverpool star winger and his club's manager, Arne Slot. Salah, who had an outstanding previous season with 29 goals and 18 assists in 38 Premier League games, has recently been left out of Liverpool's starting lineup for three consecutive matches, causing a rift between him and Slot.
Following Liverpool's 3-3 draw against Leeds United, Salah publicly expressed his frustration, claiming he was being "thrown under the bus" and that he no longer had a relationship with Slot. He hinted that his future at Liverpool might be uncertain, especially as he is about to leave to join Egypt for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.
In response, the Egyptian FA posted an encouraging message on social media stating: "You will never walk alone. You are always the best." accompanied by a picture of Salah with the title "The Egyptian King." This message aims to boost Salah's morale ahead of his international duty in December.
Salah's situation is adding complexity to Liverpool's season as the club faces difficulties in the Premier League, and the upcoming January transfer window may influence his future. Egypt's national team and coach Hossam Hassan have also shown strong support for Salah amid the controversy.
With Salah potentially missing multiple Liverpool matches while participating in AFCON, and the strained relationship with the manager unresolved, Arne Slot faces a significant challenge in restoring harmony within the squad.
