Mohamed Salah is footballing royalty, whether that be on Merseyside for Jurgen Klopp’s juggernaut or back in his native land of Egypt where he currently is for the international break.
He’ll be captaining his nation once again as they take to the field against Niger at the Borg El Arab Stadium this evening. It’s been a difficult start for The Egyptian King at Anfield this season, only scoring twice in the opening six games, with The Reds in a disappointing 8th place as things stand.
Whilst on international duty over the last 12 months, it’s been incredibly tough for Salah and his compatriots, missing out on the African Cup of Nations to a Senegal side on penalties in heartbreaking fashion.
The Senegalese heartache continued in the World Cup play-off, with his then Liverpool teammate, Sadio Mane helping fire them to Qatar at Mo Salah’s expense.
