The Egyptian Football Association has decided to rest Mohamed Salah for its upcoming AFCON qualifier against South Sudan, according to Al Jazeera.
The decision was made to protect Salah from a heightened risk of injury associated with playing on artificial turf, which is considered more likely to cause injuries than natural grass.
Salah, one of Egypt's most prominent players, will sit out the qualifier as a precautionary measure, though further details on the rest of the squad selection were not included in the report.
Egypt continues its AFCON qualifying campaign, with the match against South Sudan forming part of the broader qualification schedule.
