Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah rekindles his dispute with the Egyptian FA over the use of his image rights.

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has hit out at the Egyptian FA over an ongoing dispute regarding his image rights.

Salah was initially unhappy with his home country's governing football body in April when it used his image to promote its official sponsor WE, despite Salah having a separate sponsorship deal with Vodafone.

The dispute was swept under the carpet in time for Salah to feature at this summer's World Cup, but the 26-year-old's lawyer revealed that he is yet to receive assurances that a similar issue will not arise in the future.

"We asked for guarantees regarding Mohamed's wellbeing whilst with the national team, and assurances that the image rights violations wouldn't happen again. That's all. They have yet to respond," Ramy Abbas wrote on Twitter.

Salah also took to Twitter to address the situation, writing: "It's normal that a football federation seeks to solve the problems of its players so they can feel comfortable. But in fact, what I see is exactly the opposite.

"It is not normal that my messages and my lawyer's messages are ignored. I don't know why all this [is happening]. Do you not have time to respond to us?!"

Salah is due to return to international duty next month, when Egypt take on Niger in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
