Egypt forward Mohamed Salah, now playing for Turkish club Trabzonspor, was absent from the national team's squad for an upcoming match against South Sudan. This decision, announced by the Egyptian Football Association (EFA), was made in collaboration between the national team's technical staff and Salah himself prior to their recent friendly against Angola.
Salah had started the match against Angola but was substituted after an hour.
