Salah, not Egypt or Liverpool, should decide Olympics involvement

52, 52 and 35…that's how many appearances Mohamed Salah has made for Liverpool in 2017/18, 2018/19 and so far this season, respectively.

When looked at closely, the wideman clocked 4119 and 4342 minutes of playing time in his first two campaigns and has already played 3023 minutes this term, adding up to 11484 minutes in total.

Considering his exploits in the last two summers, he's probably due a rest, but the Egyptian Football Association have other ideas.

Editors' Picks

Salah participated in Egypt’s disappointing World Cup in the summer of 2018, as well as a failed attempt to win their eighth Africa Cup of Nations crown last year, and may be due a free summer after successive campaigns without one.
