The opportunity for Mohamed Salah to assert himself a little more as the main star of the competition.
The Pharaons striker is not going through the best period of his career, after having been in open disagreement with his coach Arne Slot. Sidelined for a Champions League match against Inter Milan in early December, Salah has since returned to the squad… But has not yet found the net and has only scored five goals in total this season. With his selection, he is expected to reach a completely different standard and he showed the way in the first match by offering victory to his team against Zimbabwe (2-1).
The Egypt-South Africa match is scheduled to kick off at 4 p.m. this Friday, December 26. The meeting will be followed live on television on beIN Sports 1.
