I don't know why, but it seems to me, how I see it, that someone doesn't want me in the club.”Salah’s return to the squad comes after face-to-face talks with Arne Slot on Friday. It’s added that the reaction in the African country is ‘more intense than you would believe.’Hassan has not always had a watertight relationship with Salah, but the player's situation certainly requires clear dialogue so it doesn't distract from Egypt's mission.

I don’t believe Salah’s ambition is outside of England or Liverpool – or he would have taken that choice two years ago."In the immediate aftermath of the comments, Hassan showed his support for Salah.
