Every minute since he touched down in Morocco for the Africa Cup of Nations, Mohamed Salah has felt something he has missed for the last month: a bit of love.
Love from his manager, Hossam Hassan, who told us on Sunday that the 33-year-old was an ‘icon and one of the best in the world’. Love, also, from CAF, the African football federation, who have plastered posters of his face all over the country to promote this tournament.
