The Egyptian national team, known as the Pharaohs, faced a heavy 4-2 defeat against Croatia in the Capital Cup final, held at the New Administrative Capital Stadium with an attendance of 30,000 fans.
Following the match, Egyptian star Mohamed Salah took to Instagram to share a picture of himself with a “swimming pool” backdrop, seemingly in response to his exclusion by manager Hassan during the national team’s March camp.
Hassan Hassan made the decision to exclude Mohamed Salah from the Pharaohs’ squad based on the player’s request.
However, during his post-match statements after the Croatia game on Tuesday, Hassan mentioned several players without specifically mentioning Salah by nаme, causing a stir of controversy.
It is worth noting that the Egyptian Pharaoh, Salah, currently holds the third position in the Premier League’s top scorers’ table with a tally of 15 goals.
