Life’s a beach for Mohamed Salah as the Liverpool star continued to make the most of his extended time-off after the 2018 World Cup.

The Egyptian looked relaxed in a panama hat, clutching a drink in both hands wearing a pair of swim shorts as the waves from the sea wrapped around his ankles.

He looked a world away from the weary figure who had been dragged down by Egypt‘s abortive campaign in Russia.

The 26-year-old is due to return to pre-season action before the end of July

Salah was forced to miss the opening game as he recovered from the shoulder injury which had curtailed his Champions League final in Kiev.

He returned for the final two group games against Russia and Saudi Arabia, scoring both times, but could not prevent his country losing twice.

The 26-year-old will be well rested, however, ahead of the start of the new Premier League season next month.

Salah scored twice for Egypt at the World Cup but they departed without winning a game

He signed a new long-term contract earlier in July to become the highest paid player at the club on £200,000-a-week.

Salah scored 44 times in his debut season at Anfield, including a record-breaking 32 in the Premier League.

He is set to join up with his team-mates for the first time this pre-season when they jet off to America ahead of games against Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City and Manchester United.
