In a difficult time at Liverpool, where he believes he is not appreciated at his true value, will Mohamed Salah find a smile again with his selection? This Sunday in Agadir, Egypt starts its African Cup of Nations with a clash within its reach against Zimbabwe. All eyes will be on their superstar striker, tasked with leading the Pharaohs, who already have the winning record in the competition, to an eighth trophy.
So far, the Salah generation has not greatly contributed to enriching the record of its selection, with two finals, in 2017 and 2022, as its main feats of arms. Released late by his club, which meant he missed the last friendly match before the competition, the captain, an idol in his country, will be keen to leave his mark on the CAN, with whom he has a troubled history.
The Egypt-Zimbabwe match is scheduled to kick off at 9 p.m. this Monday, December 22. The meeting will be followed live on television on beIN Sports 1.
