Military service casts doubt over Salah's Chelsea future. Affording to Egyptian media, Salah's career is hanging in the balance as he may be ordered to return to Egypt to complete military service. 

Salah completed a move to Stamford Bridge from Basel and he is allowed to live in England on the basis of his participation in an educational programme. However, his registration to that programme has been rescinded by the Minister of Higher Education in Egypt, the football website www.kingfut.com said, meaning the pacy 22-year-old may have to return to the country. continue

Egyptian National Team director, Ahmed Hassan said on the website that:

 "Salah has expressed his shock about the decision, he told me that he is trying to represent his country in the best way possible. Is this the best response from the country?"

If Salah has to go home, he would not be allowed to leave Egypt again until completion of a period of military service, ranging from 12 months to three years.
A meeting has been scheduled between the Egyptian FA, the national team coaching staff and the minister of Higher Education to find a solution.
