Salah and Elneny included in provisional Egypt squad for Olympic football tournament in Tokyo

Mohamed Salah and Mohamed Elneny could both play at the Olympic Games in Tokyo this summer after being included in Egypt's preliminary squad for the men's football tournament.

The Liverpool and Arsenal stars have been selected as overage players for the tournament, with the north African nation having been drawn against Spain, Argentina and Australia in the group stage.

Their inclusion in the squad could provide a headache for Jurgen Klopp and Mikel Arteta, with the competition scheduled to continue until August 7 - one week before the start of the 2021-22 Premier League season.
