STEELE (lewis): According to reports in Cairo, Mohamed Salah himself was highly involved in Egypt's decision to exclude him from a forthcoming international camp, with the Liverpool forward claiming to have pleaded with his country specifically to improve his long-term fitness ahead of a one-off tournament.
