A season marked by renewal with Liverpool
Solid leader of group C with 9 points taken out of 9, Egypt is almost qualified for the final phase of CAN 2025. Indeed a draw result will be enough for Omar Marmoush’s teammates to be part of the wave of first qualifiers in the tournament two days before the end of the qualifiers, possibly with Algeria, the Ivory Coast, the DRC or even Morocco. If they get the point that will be enough for their happiness.
Mo Salah will return to competition on October 20 for the clash against Chelsea counting for the eighth day of the Premier League. This start of the season is placed under the sign of rebirth for the main interested party, leader of PL with the Reds after a 2023-2024 season without titles, and who became, on October 2, the only African top scorer in the history of the Champions League.
