The announcement of Egypt's national football team star Mohamed Salah traveling to England for treatment, and his departure from the team amidst the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, has sparked widespread controversy on social media. This led to the emergence of a hashtag titled "Mohamed Salah the Pride of Escape" trending on the platform "X."
Famous rapper Weghz commented on Mohamed Salah's decision to travel for treatment via his official page on the platform, stating: "Mohamed Salah is free. I personally want the Egyptian team to win the cup with those who are waiting for the opportunity and want to play." He added, "People pressuring a person to change their feelings towards a certain matter only leads to the opposite result. Let him be comfortable so he doesn't represent us. It's better for him to be honest than to pretend out of fear of society."
The Egyptian Football Association announced Mohamed Salah's travel to England for treatment following his injury with the national team.
