Liverpool’s Egypt star Mohamed Salah has hinted he may be ready to retire from international football following World Cup heartbreak against Senegal. Salah missed a penalty in Tuesday’s shoot-out as his nation missed out on a place in Qatar, having drawn 1-1 on aggregate over the two legs of the qualifier. Now, at the age of 29, he seems to be having doubts over whether to return to duty for the Pharaohs.

Salah was caught on video in the Egypt dressing room speaking in frank terms with his teammates. While Salah’s international future may be up in the air, he remains a hero both for Egypt and in Liverpool, where a new mural was unveiled for the star.
