Mohamed Salah has joined the Egypt national team squad, making his first appearance in the new camp of the side under coach Ali Maher. The Egyptian football star and captain of the “Pharaohs” arrived at the team’s training base this Tuesday, as part of preparations for the next two matches against Malawi.
Salah was welcomed by the new coach, with whom he exchanged greetings and a friendly conversation. In photos published by the Egyptian Football Association, the forward appears in a positive atmosphere, also communicating with members of the technical staff.
The player is expected to take part in today’s training session, while Egypt is preparing for the two fixtures against Malawi, scheduled for November 13 and 17, which count toward the qualifiers for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
This gathering marks the beginning of the collaboration between Salah and coach Ali Maher, who took charge of the national team after Hossam Hassan’s departure last Saturday.
We recall that Salah had left the previous camp after the match against Angola, where he played for about an hour. The federation had explained that the decision was taken to give the player rest, due to the special conditions of the artificial pitch where the match against South Sudan was to be played.
