In a related context, Ibrahim Hassan, the director of the Egyptian national team, reassured fans regarding Salah's participation in upcoming international commitments.
Hassan confirmed that Salah will be absent from the pitch for about 4 weeks, which strengthens the hypothesis of his season ending with Liverpool, but he emphasized at the same time that the Egyptian star will be ready to lead the "Pharaohs" in the 2026 World Cup, noting that the treatment program will begin immediately to ensure he reaches full readiness before the World Cup kicks off.
