Egypt captain Mohamed Salah has put aside his travails at Liverpool and is focused on Africa Cup of Nations success with his national team, coach Hossam Hassan says.

Egypt's talisman is at the tournament in Morocco on the back of a fiery outburst after being dropped by the Premier League champions, but his comments and subsequent apology to teammates have had no impact on his form, Hassan said ahead of Egypt’s opening Group B match against Zimbabwe in Agadir on Monday.
