CAIRO: Mo Salah is considering quitting the Egyptian national team due to his unhappiness over what has happened in Chechnya, where the team was based during the World Cup at Russia 2018, a source close to the Liverpool forward has told CNN.
Last season Salah became an international star — ranked alongside the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Neymar Jr. — due to his goalscoring feats for Liverpool, who he helped reach the Champions League final.
Salah was injured in that game against Real Madrid and subsequently missed Egypt’s opening World Cup match against Uruguay, though he played and scored in the 3-1 defeat by hosts Russia.
But as he struggled for fitness a picture of Salah walking beside Chechnya leader Ramzan Kadyrov became a major talking point at the World Cup.
