Salah wins dispute with Egypt F.A.
Mohamed Salah has won his battle with the Egyptian FA.
The Liverpool star will now have a bolstered security team looking after him when he is on international duty.
Salah says that he was being harassed while he was away representing his country, claiming that he was being woken up in the early hours of the morning by adoring fans.
He had told Egypt officials that he needed at least two bodyguards in order to protect him from supporters.
EFA chiefs hit back at Salah with a strongly-worded letter, insisting that no player would be receiving superstar treatment.
But it has now been confirmed by Karam Kurdi, a member of the country’s football federation, that the Egypt squad will now have a private training camp, completely isolated from the public.
“There’s a lot of insurance for the camp and the players are completely isolated from the public and no one is allowed to approach the team,” Kurdi told FilGoal.com.
“The hotel’s security authorities are charged with preventing anyone from being at the residence or entering the players’ rooms.”
It is claimed that there were strict security measures in place for his arrival into the capital – as previously requested by Salah’s lawyer.
The 26-year-old was accompanied by a bodyguard as he enjoyed a short break in Sahel in the north of Egypt before linking up with the national team.
Kurdi said: “He asked for one guard only to be with him during his short vacation in the northern coast before joining the camp.
“All the actions are very good and the team is now ready to meet Niger to win.”
