Egypt's Salah withdraws from Africa Cup qualifier against Mauritania due to injury concerns.

Egypt's captain Mohamed Salah will not play in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Mauritania due to injury concerns related to the artificial pitch and the physicality of the opposition. Liverpool confirmed his early release from international duty after his goal in a recent 2-0 victory over Mauritania. This decision may benefit Liverpool as they aim to keep Salah fit for the season, especially with other key players also sidelined.
