Liverpool’s Mohammed Salah will look to find his scoring boots for the Pharaohs of Egypt when they take on Zambia tomorrow in an international friendly match at the Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium in Dubai.
Salah, who has five goals and four assists in eight Premier League games for Liverpool this season, has not scored for Egypt in his last two international appearances against Tunisia and Guinea.
The 31-year-old last scored for Egypt against Malawi in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, netting his 51st international goal.
Egypt will head into tomorrow’s game against Zambia after suffering a 1-3 defeat to Tunisia.
They will face the Chipolopolo side that has been unbeaten in their last four games, including a 3-0 win over Ivory Coast.
However, Zambia has not beaten the Pharaohs in the last 27 years.
They last recorded a win over the seven-time African champions at the 1996 African Cup of Nations tournament in a match that ended 3-1.
