MOHAMED SALAH ARTIFICIAL PITCH VETO

The Egypt National Football Team continues its preparations for its new challenge in the international arena at full speed. However, the African team took a very important decision before the critical match it will play against South Sudan. The technical committee does not consider the team's biggest star Mohamed Salah in the squad for this match. Egyptian officials examined the ground conditions of the stadium where the struggle will be played in detail. As a result of the examinations made, it turned out that the field is completely covered with artificial turf. The head coach, who took into consideration the extra physical load and injury risk of artificial turf grounds on footballers, took his star player under protection. The experienced attacking player, who wears the Trabzonspor jersey, is pulled to the bench in order not to experience any muscle or joint problem in heavy ground conditions. Egypt football federation officials keep the health of their players above everything in the long and tough season. The medical team analyzed Salah's fatigue data in past matches and reported that playing on artificial turf would create a great danger. Upon this scientific report, the technical team went on the path of resting the player completely. Fans find the protection of the player's health logical while experiencing the sadness of not seeing their biggest weapon on the pitch. Other attacking options take the stage in the absence of Salah in the South Sudan match. Egypt dwells on alternative tactics in this away game.
