Salah to miss Egypt game because of artificial pitch

Egypt have left Mohamed Salah out of their Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against South Sudan because the match will be played on artificial turf.

The former Liverpool forward, now with Turkish club Trabzonspor, has not travelled with the squad to the capital Juba for Tuesday's game.

The 34-year-old started Friday's goalless draw with Angola in Cairo but was substituted by coach Hossam Hassan after an hour.
