Salah, 26, and the Egyptian Football Association have previously been at loggerheads due to a disagreement over image rights. Now the conflict has flared up again after the striker and his lawyer accused the FA of failing to respond to a list of requests dealing with the player’s treatment. The disagreement between national hero Salah and the Egyptian FA first burst into the open in April over the player’s image rights. Salah was angered that his image was being used by the national team’s main sponsor, telecoms firm WE, when he already had a contract with rival company Vodafone. Egypt crashed out of the World Cup after losing its three matches, with Salah struggling to reach his best after sustaining a shoulder injury playing for his club Liverpool in the Champions League final.
