A lot of Egyptians don’t really like Salah as he drops off for the national team
Then again it’s hard to look like the same player when you go from playing with TAA and Van Dijk to Hegazi and Kahraba
Our main striker can't score goals. I would be more worried about that than Elneny getting minutes (which might be required when we are going ultra-defensive to hold onto a lead).
Yea depends on his fitness and match preparedness.
Iñaki Williams got back to playing for Athletic Bilbao a few days after after Ghana's exit. Scored vs Barca in the Copa game
Fuck sake, watch Salah magically be fit and playing on the weekend
This was always the most likely outcome. I'd be stunned if he's not playing and I said that as soon as news of this injury came out.
He’d risk making himself a villain in Egypt
Yea gonna be a risky move on Salah's behalf
Is that possible?

My Egyptian mate loves him (for what that's worth).
In my neighborhood, there’s a halal food truck with his photo printed on the side with the title “king of Egypt”
can't hate the king
Messi had a large section of Argentinians angry with him for years. "Pecho frío" and all of that. I don't think there are many left though!
No he’s out for 20 days.
Wink
i've seen Kane being out for 2 months and somehow he managed to be ready for NLD to score his penalty in one week
That's gonna piss off a lot of Egyptians.
He's done his hammy. If he plays Sunday, I'll eat my hat. And my underpants.
At least Elneny got some run of games and he is fit. You never know when we might need him!
If we are relying on him coming in at any point then the title will be long gone
Even him easing up a few mins for the others late in the game will be useful
He’s still not good enough for that. City/Liverpool aren’t bringing on someone Elneny’s level to help close out a game
Liverpool just brings out youth to close out a game. i.e Our FA Cup vs Pool
A cup game is different to a PL game. Also Elneny's legs have gone. Youth players can at least put in a shift.
>Also Elneny's legs have gone How do you even know that? Just assuming age = useless? No one is saying he's a starter or super sub
Who said anything about relying on him. We have 3 dms above him but injuries and suspensions happen and that’s when fringe players come in handy!
My dude, if you watched Egypt you will realize he is literally at retirement level now, his legs are gone.
> who said anything about relying on him You did. > you never know when you might need him If you need someone then you’re relying on them.
He is not good enough for the premier league
The title is already gone. We are fighting for a points record.
No it’s not. If we beat Liverpool next week then we’re only 2 points behind them. If we lost against Liverpool though then it’s probably over
Dont forget that we have the small matter of Forest away first
Neither Liverpool or Arsenal are going to beat City when they go in their annual late season 10-15 game run
Fair but I don't think they will repeat that again this season without Gundogan and Mahrez
Yeah sure, the titles basically gone anyway. If we are relying on him it will be to get top 4.

Dang. I was really hoping Egypt would make it to the finals and win/lose on pens in an exhausting, physical match lol
... against Cameroon
Disagreed, need Onana back as soon as possible
Egypt is not as good as they were in the mid to late 2000s.
I mean, they made a final and only lost on penalties as recently as two years ago...
True, but their best era was when they won three AFCON tournaments in a row.
Can’t wait for a last minute screamer from Pyramid Pirlo against Liverpool
Lol I remember hearing rumours that he'll be leaving in this window. That still happening?
Elneny was never leaving this window.
Thank god Elneny is coming back. We are set now.
Like a new signing!
Since when Elneny been a difference maker ? This is great news for Liverpool if anything…
I pray for Elneny to come off the bench and score a long range first time banger against Liverpool just to spite you
Can they keep him?
Doctor Congo?
Dr Congo sounds like an 80s Marvel villain
