The reasons for Salah's absence from the March FIFA window with Egypt, who are due to play in a tournament, were given by Ibrahim Hassan, the national team manager, at a press conference on Sunday, March 10. "The exclusion came at the request of Salah and his club, as he feels it is better for him not to be present as he has not fully recovered from his injury." The brother of the national team coach, continued,
"There has been communication between the club and the Football Federation, and no one can be included without their desire. Salah is the captain of the national team, and his value is very great, and his presence with us will certainly add strength to the team. We wanted his presence, but we don't want to stand in his way."
