Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah and Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny have been given the all clear to return to the UK despite their recent positive coronavirus tests, according to the Egyptian Football Association.

The duo tested positive while on international duty with their country, with Salah who has shown only mild symptoms, recording a further two positive tests since going into isolation on Friday.

A statement by the Egyptian FA read: 'In the framework of coordination between the Egyptian FA and the English football clubs, it was agreed that Mohammed Salah and Mohamed Elneny will travel tomorrow from Hurghada Airport on a medical-equipped private jet, hoping that it will [enable] both of them to be negative soon and able to get back to [participation for] their teams.
