Mohamed Salah is still unsure whether he will play with Basel at Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Champions League preliminaries or skip the trip to Israel. Maccabi have qualified to meet the Swiss champions in the third qualifying round, with speculation mounting about Salah and compatriot Mohamed Elneny missing the away tie. However, the 21-year-old Salah dismissed reports that he intends to sit out the Tel Aviv trip, even so he implied there is a possibility he could do it. "I do not know yet," Salah, Egypt's top scorer in the World Cup qualifiers so far, was quoted as saying by Swiss newspaper Blick. "I have never said that I will not play. But that the situation is difficult." The calls to ‘boycott Israel' in terms of football events have occurred frequently in recent years, amid continuous unrest related to the Middle East Crisis. Former internationals Nader Al-Sayed and Hany Ramzy were two Egyptians who had to make it to Israel during their times at Club Brugge and Werder Bremen in the late 90s. Basel visit Maccabi in Tel Aviv on July 30.
