Egyptian Football Association president Hany Abu Rida has spoken with Mohamed Salah to check on his recovery following the forward’s recent hamstring injury.
The Liverpool winger and captain of the Egypt national football team is currently undergoing treatment after medical examinations confirmed a tear.
During the conversation, Abu Rida expressed his support for Salah, voicing confidence in the player’s ability to recover and return to action.
He also relayed messages of encouragement from Egyptian supporters, who are hoping to see the forward regain fitness as soon as possible.
What this means for Egypt
The injury has raised concerns over Salah’s availability in the short term, but officials remain optimistic about his longer-term prospects, particularly with major international commitments on the horizon.
Abu Rida indicated that there is a positive outlook within the national team setup regarding Salah’s recovery, with steps being taken to ensure he is given the best possible conditions during his rehabilitation.
The Egypt FA president emphasised that the organisation is committed to providing the necessary support to help the player return at full strength.
Salah’s contribution
Salah is regarded as a central figure in Egypt’s plans, with his leadership and experience expected to play a key role in the team’s ambitions on the global stage.
Ensuring his fitness is therefore seen as a priority, as the national team prepares for upcoming competitions, including the FIFA World Cup.
Officials believe that with the appropriate care and recovery programme, Salah can overcome the setback and be ready to contribute when it matters most.
The forward’s progress will continue to be closely monitored, with the Egyptian FA maintaining regular contact as part of efforts to support one of the country’s most influential footballers.
