The Pharaoh’s Star: Mohamed Salah Takes a Breather
In the latest twist of sporting fate, the pride of Egypt, Mohamed Salah, made headlines not just for scoring a goal but for deciding to take a little “me time” right after leading the Pharaohs to a 2-0 victory against Mauritania. I mean, who doesn’t want to bask in victory for a moment before sprinting back to the club like a kid in a candy store? But dear fans, Salah skipping the return leg seems to be more ‘choosing his battles’ rather than ‘retreating to the pyramids’!
After his scoring spree at the Cairo International Stadium, Salah, the captain with a staggering 101 caps and 58 goals, decided that it was time to “rest.” He and coach Hossam Hassan probably had an enlightening chat. I can only imagine it went something like this: “Hey Mo, why don’t you skip running around chasing Mauritania’s players and just focus on napping instead?” There’s nothing quite like football managers giving their star players a VIP pass to 40 winks!

A New Dawn with Liverpool and other Egyptian Wonders
Now, let’s talk about Egypt’s group stage performance—solid is one way to put it. With a clean sweep of 9 points out of 9, they have practically booked their tickets to the CAN 2025 party! All they need now is just a draw, which sounds easier than trying to explain the offside rule to your grandma. And let’s face it, with Omar Marmoush and his mates seeming to have the Midas touch lately, drawing a game should be a walk in the desert. Good luck to the opposition, though!
Looking ahead, Salah is set to return to action on October 20 against Chelsea, where Liverpool fans hope to see him bounce back after what I can only assume was a delightful weekend of bubble baths and gourmet snacks. Flip that switch on, Mo! It’s time to remind the Premier League why they call you a magician! And dare I say, with Salah now the top scoring African in Champions League history, he’s certainly not just any magician; he’s Houdini on the pitch!
In conclusion, while Mohamed Salah may be taking a much-deserved break, let’s not forget—resting is not hiding! Just like the Pharaohs who ruled with an iron hand while lounging on golden thrones, Salah knows when to kick back and when to unleash his skills. So, dear fans, relax and enjoy the highlights—because the king is just recharging his royal batteries!

The information announced by KingFut this Saturday was confirmed a few hours later by Liverpoolwhich formalized the early return of his 32-year-old winger to the banks of the Mersey. According to KingFutthe left-hander discussed with his coach Hossam Hassan. The two men thus agreed to release the player from the next opposition against the Mourabitounes.

A season marked by renewal with Liverpool
Solid leader of group C with 9 points taken out of 9, Egypt is almost qualified for the final phase of CAN 2025. Indeed a draw result will be enough for Omar Marmoush’s teammates to be part of the wave of first qualifiers in the tournament two days before the end of the qualifiers, possibly with Algeria, the Ivory Coast, the DRC or even Morocco. If they get the point that will be enough for their happiness.
Mo Salah will return to competition on October 20 for the clash against Chelsea counting for the eighth day of the Premier League. This start of the season is placed under the sign of rebirth for the main interested party, leader of PL with the Reds after a 2023-2024 season without titles, and who became, on October 2, the only African top scorer in the history of the Champions League.
