Egypt and Trabzonspor forward Mohamed Salah will not take part in the national team's friendly against South Africa on October 4.

According to Micky Jnr, the footballer will travel to Greece during the current international break. Salah has already left the Egypt camp following the 0-0 draw with Angola.

Against this backdrop, reports have emerged of possible tension between the 34-year-old forward and Egypt head coach Hossam Hassan. However, the specific reasons behind the alleged disagreement remain unknown, and the reports of a rift have not been independently confirmed.
