Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah found himself on the receiving end of a humorous but pointed remark from his toughest critic — his mother — after a photo surfaced of him hugging a female fan in Dubai.
The image quickly circulated online, prompting a cheeky response from his mum, who joked: “If I saw your father doing this, I would ask him for divorce.” Salah later shared the exchange on Instagram, adding laughing emojis to show he took the comment in good spirits.
The 26-year-old, who married his childhood sweetheart Magi in 2013, has been instrumental in Liverpool’s Premier League title push against Manchester City. Despite his global fame, the Egyptian star clearly isn’t immune to family criticism.
Meanwhile, Salah was absent from Egypt’s squad for their Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, as head coach Javier Aguirre opted to rest him and give opportunities to emerging players. Having already featured in over 40 matches for Liverpool this season, the decision appears aimed at managing his workload.
