Hossam Hassan on Salah's South Sudan absence
Hossam Hassan, the head coach of the Egyptian national team, revealed the reasons for Mohamed Salah's absence from the match against South Sudan in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers for 2027. An opportunity was available to rest him due to the poor condition of the artificial turf field and concerns about him getting injured. He confirmed that the decision was made in coordination with Salah, emphasizing that he is a key and highly valuable player. Resting him was necessary to protect him and to ensure his readiness for upcoming matches. This comes ahead of Egypt's continuation in the tournament qualifiers, which will be held for the first time through joint organizing by Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda in June 2027.
