Doubt dey hang over Mohamed Salah involvement for Trabzonspor match against Finland KuPS tomorrow, Thursday, for first round of UEFA Europa Conference League. The matter be like one mysterious puzzle.
German coach Thomas Reis no settle the debate for press conference held before the match. E only give brief remarks wey make anticipation over player fate rise. Asked directly about the Egyptian, Reis tok say: ‘I know dis question important to you. The match go play on artificial surface, but all our players ready. I no fit tok for certain right now whether Salah go play or not. We go see tomorrow.’
The pitch na clearly the sticking point. Reis make am plain himself: ‘We get to face not only the opponent, but also the conditions of the pitch. Even Bayern Munich get great difficulty yesterday on similar surface.’
He insist say everyone fit. Yet holding back on Salah until last moment suggest say im staff still dey weigh risk of throwing the winger onto artificial grass, particularly as Trabzonspor dey play every three days.
Reis sign off by promising say he go field best possible line-up, one hint say the call on Salah no go come until final hours before kick-off.
Line-ups don announce and players dey warm up.
