Mohamed Salah club vs country row escalates as Egypt say there are 'unable to communicate' with Liverpool forward

Egypt named Salah in their squad for their upcoming international matches where they are set to take part in the inaugural Winsunited Cup between March 22-26. The tournament will also see teams like Croatia, Tunisia, and New Zealand participating.

Last week, Liverpool had requested the Egyptian FA rest the forward as he is still recovering from injury but the club's plea was rejected as Egypt wanted their team doctor to asses the star player's condition.

Now according to the Daily Mail, a member of the Egyptian FA board has claimed that they are unable to get in touch with the winger. The former Chelsea player has featured in just one game for the Reds after sustaining an injury in the group stage of the AFCON. His last appearance for the Merseyside club was against Brentford in the Premier League in mid-February where he came on as a substitute and scored a goal.

Liverpool expect their star forward to recover from his injury and feature for a few minutes in their upcoming vital league clash against Manchester City on Sunday.

It remains to be seen if the 31-year-old will eventually join the national team and take the field for the Pharaohs later this month.
