Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah granted international break by Egypt

Egyptian FA vice-president Ahmed Shobier reveals that Liverpool star Mohamed Salah will not be part of Egypt's squad for next month's matches against Nigeria and Niger.

Liverpool have been given a major boost as forward Mohamed Salah will not be called up by Egypt for next month's matches.

The Pharaohs are scheduled to face Nigeria in a friendly on March 22 and Niger in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier four days later.

Salah has been granted international leave by the Egyptian Football Association, however, meaning that he can rest up ahead of the business end of the season.

Salah has appeared 32 times for Liverpool this season in all competitions and has also been used four times by Egypt since the World Cup.
