After working together in recent weeks to keep Liverpool's quest for an historic quadruple alive, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah are set to become international rivals once again.
The duo share something of an 'odd couple' relationship which will continue over the next 10 days as Mane's Senegal and Salah's Egypt go head-to-head for a place at the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar.
The first part of a trilogy between the two nations saw Mane convert the winning spot-kick as Senegal beat Egypt in the final of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon in February.
