Did you know Liverpool and Egyptian superstar Mohamed Salah was in the country on Tuesday night?
The photo of the 2019 UEFA Champions League winner surfaced online on Wednesday morning, showing him at the Hilton Garden Inn along Mombasa Road, Nairobi.

Game Yetu can authoritatively confirm that it’s indeed true that Salah jetted in Kenya on Tuesday evening and left on Wednesday at around 7 a.m.
“Yes. Salah was here. He came in on Tuesday evening and checked out early morning today. He was on transit,” an official from the hotel told Game Yetu.
