Former Egypt football star Mido has mocked Mohamed Salah for rehabbing at Liverpool instead of staying with the team for the Africa Cup of Nations. Salah aims to recover from a hamstring injury to potentially rejoin the tournament. Mido sarcastically commented on Salah’s rehab photo, implying it’s only possible in Liverpool.

Meanwhile, Salah’s absence was felt as Egypt secured a spot in the last 16. Jurgen Klopp clarified that bringing Salah back to Liverpool was solely for better medical treatment not due to disloyalty. Klopp emphasized Salah’s commitment to Egypt and stated that if he’s fit and Egypt reaches the final, Salah will return to the team.
