Liverpool handed Salah boost by Egypt as star forward granted international break

The Pharaohs have revealed that they will not be calling upon the Reds star for fixtures against Nigeria and Niger which are due to be staged in March

Liverpool have seen their Premier League title bid handed a timely boost, with Egypt revealing that they will not call upon Mohamed Salah for their March internationals.

The 26-year-old forward is a talismanic presence for his country, with his efforts having helped to fire them to the 2018 World Cup finals in Russia.

He has a key role to play for the Pharaohs in the future, but is set to be awarded a much-needed break.
