Mohamed Salah’s grandfather, Ahmed Abdel Aziz Al Bambi, passed away on Monday morning, with funeral rites scheduled to take place in the player’s native village of Nagrig.
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah is in mourning following the passing of his grandfather, Ahmed Abdel Aziz Al Bambi, on Monday morning.
The news was confirmed by Salah’s uncle, Abdel Aziz Al Bambi, who serves as the chairman of the Mohamed Salah Youth Center.
The Egyptian international received the news less than 24 hours after featuring in Liverpool’s high-stakes Premier League clash against Manchester City.
Funeral services are set to take place at the Grand Mosque of Musa in Salah’s home village of Nagrig.
Local residents and community members are expected to gather to pay their final respects before the burial.
It remains uncertain if Salah will travel to Egypt for the service, given Liverpool’s congested fixture schedule and the immediate nature of the funeral arrangements in his hometown.
