Mo Salah to MISS Egypt game due to ‘injury risk’ fears
Mo Salah is enjoying a fine start to the season even if he is not getting all the credit he deserves.
Seven goals and five assists in Liverpool’s opening ten games in all competitions really is ridiculous when you think about it, but at this point it is expected of the Egyptian.
The main story following him around is his contract expiring at the end of the season, and there is still no real word about him extending it at the club.
A lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia is the main reported other outlet and Reds fear that will be where Salah plies his trade from here on out.
The Egyptian is still the talisman for his national team too. As Egypt gear up for an away game with Mauritania, however, they may have to play without Salah.
Will Salah miss next Egypt game?
Ismael Mahmoud is reporting that, due to the state of Mauritania’s pitch, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan would be willing to let Salah return to Liverpool early to avoid any risk of injury on the patchwork grass.

Egypt were set to travel west for a game on Tuesday. Last night they saw the same Mauritania team off 2-0.
Naturally, Salah scored the second as Egypt eased towards the three points necessary for Africa Cup of Nations qualification.
Also seen was Eintracht Frankfurt man – and serious Liverpool target – Omar Marmoush. Marmoush didn’t get his name on the scoresheet but got in another 90 minutes with Salah.
Reports are flying around that Liverpool are eyeing Marmoush both as a long-term attacking option and as an attempt to convince Salah to stay with the club.
The attacker scored twice, including a last-minute equaliser, in Frankfurt’s 3-3 draw with Bayern Munich last weekend.
Egypt sit top of their group and have a chance to qualify directly for the Africa Cup of Nations with a win over Mauritania on Tuesday.




I’m Thomas Clark, from the ever-sunny Scottsdale, Arizona. At 47, my life’s not your usual nine-to-five grind; I’m the voice behind the screen at FC Soccer News. My days are a mix of passion and professionalism as I weave words for the love of the game. University of Arizona’s where I honed my skills, but the real education came from the hours spent in local cafes, my eyes glued to my laptop, and my mind playing the field.
Soccer’s not just my beat—it’s the rhythm to my life. I analyze plays with a tactical mind and share insights that cut through the noise. Outside work, my appetite for adventure is as strong as a striker’s kick. The chef in me loves experimenting in the kitchen, and when the hiking trails call my name, I answer with boots laced tight. I’ve got music in my bones, and you’ll often find me lost in the melodies of a well-strummed guitar.
Away from the adrenaline of sports and the hum of daily life, my world orbits around my family. Dinner tables are our huddles, where laughter and stories bounce around like a well-played ball. Weekends are sacred—reserved for family bike rides and movie marathons, where I pass down my love for classics to my two bright kids. Parenthood’s more rewarding than any byline, and it’s taught me the true value of teamwork. My wife is my rock, my steady defender, offering unwavering support through every deadline and draft. Together, we’ve built a life that’s as dynamic as the games I cover—a blend of commitment, joy, and the unending chase of a story worth telling.
