Egyptian rues 2022 losses to Senegal in Afcon final, World Cup qualifying play-off
-
More than three years after they last appeared together, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah meet again on Jan 14 on opposing sides as Senegal and Egypt clash for a place in the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) final.
The last-four showdown in the Moroccan city of Tangier will be the first time the former Liverpool teammates have shared a pitch, since the Reds lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League final in May 2022.
Shortly after, Mane left for Bayern Munich before moving to Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League in 2023.
Salah, meanwhile, has been heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia but remains for now at Liverpool, despite falling out of favour with manager Arne Slot before coming to the Afcon.
The Egypt captain is a man on a mission in Morocco, having scored four goals in four appearances on the Pharaohs’ run to the semifinals as he targets winning Afcon for the first time.
Salah, who turns 34 in June, is running out of time to win a major international honour with his country, having suffered the agony of two final defeats in the competition.
