It's been recently reported that Liverpool made a request to Egypt to not call up Mohamed Salah for the upcoming international games. Egypt turned down the request.
They have now promised that they will treat the forward's fitness with caution,. They have also said that they will call him up if he featured for the Reds before the international break.
“The coaching staff, the Football Association, and the Egyptian fans are all keen on Salah’s safety,” Egypt FA member Ehab El-Komy said, as quoted by KingFut.
“If he is not 100% ready, the national team coaching staff will be even more cautious about his presence in the upcoming camp. We have two weeks ahead of us and his recovery may be complete.”
“If Mohamed Salah is ready, we will be keen on his presence. Otherwise, a different talk will be held at the appropriate time.
“Even up to the date of the international agenda, if Salah plays in any match with Liverpool, he will be ready and we will call him up to join the Egyptian national team.
“We want things to be calm, especially since [new manager] Hossam Hassan wants all players to be present for Egypt’s strong start under his leadership.”
Salah sustained a knee injury at the African Cup of Nations in January. He returned against Brentford and suffered a relapse. The forward is aiming to be back against Man City on March 10.
Egypt face New Zealand in a friendly game on March 22. Liverpool have four games to play before the international break begins.
