Mohamed Salah to Miss Egypt's Pre-AFCON Match Against Nigeria, Boosting Super Eagles' Chances
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah is set to miss Egypt's pre-AFCON friendly match against Nigeria, as confirmed by Egypt's head coach Hossam Hassan. Salah will not participate in the match due to club commitments, joining the national team on December 15.
This development provides a boost for Nigeria as they aim for their fourth continental crown in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations tournament. Egypt, drawn in Group B alongside South Africa, Angola, Zimbabwe, and Nigeria, will be looking to extend their record of seven titles.
Former Arsenal academy star Eric Chell is also mentioned in the context of the tournament.
