But 'The Pharaohs' will be without their manager Carlos Queiroz​, who was sent off by ​Bakary Gassama.

​Queiroz reacted angrily to the referee's decisions, with Gassama​ sending him to the stands. 

Salah also had a heated exchange with him as he furiously protested against his questionable officiating.

The Liverpool star unleased a rant then glared at Gassama before leaving the scene. Egypt's coaches also approached him, with the referee waving them away.

It's a side of Salah many fans have never seen before, with Liverpool fans sharing their thoughts online.

One tweeted: "Never seen him with that anger in his eyes."​

A second wrote: "Love the passion Mo is showing here... Taking a stand and being captain against unfair calls."

A third added: "I have never seen this much anger in his eyes. PASSION​."
