After a rather disappointing end to the season with Liverpool, Salah made his way to the Egyptian national team for their World Cup qualifiers.

Liverpool fan @IndiLFC said: "The Prem isn’t ready for hair transplant Salah next season"
X user @_wingplay made a keen observation and said: "cats denying he hasn't had a hair transplant are hilarious, analysis really shows he's managed to overcome stage 3 hair loss by 24° inclination"
@SeanDOlfc joked: "We can’t get rid of Salah after this hair transplant. The adrenaline boost of playing without worrying about the cameras catching his corners will de-age him by 2 years."
He also posted: "I reckon Salah is getting a hair transplant with the 6 weeks off. His Afro was turning into Krusty the Clown with the corners going"
X user @deputychino said: "If he is still with Liverpool, the premier league is on notice. Full fro Salah will not be stopped"
@SMXLFC posted on X: "They’re not ready for hair transplant Salah. He’s running it back"
THE BIGGER PICTURE
This is not the first time that Salah has sent Liverpool fans into a frenzy with a new look. In 2020, the Egyptian cropped his hair ahead of football's return to action following the COVID-19 global pandemic.
