Egypt Olympic coach wants Liverpool star Salah in squad for Tokyo

Egypt are hoping to have the services of Liverpool star Mohamed Salah for this summer's Olympics in Tokyo, according to the team's coach Shawky Gharib.

Gharib indicated earlier this year that he was planning on selecting Salah for his squad before the Olympics were moved from 2020 to 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In January, Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp admitted that he wasn't too excited about the idea of Salah being named as one of Egypt's three overage players for the Under-23 event in Tokyo.
