Egypt coach defends Salah amidst Liverpool and Slot bombshell

Egypt head Hossam Hassan has sent a message of support to Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah in the wake of his recent outburst.

The former African Player of the Year took aim at his manager Arne Slot and accused the Reds of “throwing him under the bus” as he was an unused substitute in the club’s 3-3 draw with Leeds United.

While Salah has been criticized for his comment, the Pharaohs manager showed his support for his star player on social media.

Legendary Hassan posted a picture of himself and Salah, with the caption (originally in Arabic): 'Always a symbol of determination and strength.'

Liverpool face Inter Milan in the Champions League during the week and the attention of fans and pundits would be on manager Slot to see if he would be included against the Serie A side.
