Egypt failed to advance to the knockout stage of the World Cup after losing all three of their group-stage matches.

Salah said that the whole team intended to take part in the next World Cup.

On Monday, CNN referring to a source close to the Liverpool forward, reported that the 26-year-old "considered quitting Egypt national team due to his unhappiness over what had happened in Chechnya", where the team was based in Russia.

The following day the Middle East News Agency reported: "Salah apologised to the fans after the defeat from Saudi Arabia in Russia and said that the whole team was going to come back and play at the next World Cup."
