Egyptian national football team captain Ahmed Fathi is reportedly threatening to leave the team over coach Hossam El Badry’s decision to give Mo Salah the captain’s armband, according to Ahram Online. The decision breaks with tradition in the national team, which traditionally gives the captaincy to the oldest player. Fathi is currently the team’s most senior member, while Salah is fourth in line, behind Abdalla Said and Ahmed Hegazy.
