Mohamed Salah, despite a disappointing debut at Trabzonspor, will have the opportunity to lead his Turkish club into the league phase of the Europa League on Thursday. The 34-year-old, who signed from Liverpool on a free transfer earlier this month, started the Super Lig season opener against Kasimpasa on the bench before coming on as a substitute.
Salah, known primarily for his UEFA Champions League exploits, has made 37 appearances in the Europa League for Basel, Roma, Fiorentina and Liverpool, scoring 10 goals and providing 10 assists. Trabzonspor, though defeated 1-1 by Kasimpasa in their opening match, are eager to improve on that result against Ferencvaros in the first leg of their Europa League play-off.
Club president Ertugrul Dogan has praised Salah's impact, stating that he has created a positive atmosphere among the club's supporters in Trabzon, Turkey. However, speculation of a reunion with former Liverpool teammate Darwin Nunez at Al Hilal appears to be off, with Nunez now considering a move to Saudi Pro League side Al Diriyah.
