Salah to miss Nigeria, Egypt friendly

Liverpool star, Mohammed Salah will not be part of the friendly game between Nigeria and Egypt scheduled to take place at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba on the 26th of March.

Kingfut reports that the striker will also be missing Egypt’s AFCON qualifier game against Niger.

Confirming the development, Egyptian Football Association (EFA) vice-president Ahmed Shobier said, “Mohamed Salah will not play the Niger game in the AFCON qualifiers or the Nigeria friendly.

“Ahmed Hegazi will probably also be left out of the squad.”

Meanwhile, Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has said it’s victory or nothing when his team faces the Pharaohs in Asaba.
