Salah on artificial turf in Europe
The investigation into Mohamed Salah's decision to take a break from the South Sudan match due to protection from artificial turf demonstrates that the justification given—relying on player safety—is unconvincing, especially considering that all of Trabzonspor's stadiums in the Turkish league use natural grass. Additionally, Salah has previously played on artificial turf during European qualifiers without documented injuries. While the Egyptian Football Association is keen to protect Salah, the reality becomes apparent when facing European conditions, where teams like Kups, for example, play on artificial pitches. Protecting players effectively requires a clear medical protocol rather than selective decisions that leave room for interpretation. This raises questions about the actual level of genuine player protection, given that modern football increasingly relies on artificial surfaces in European and international competitions.
