Learn what happened.
Ahmed Abdulaziz Al-Bambi, Mohamed Salah's grandfather, passed away on Monday morning, according to local reports.
Abdul Aziz Al-Bambi, the deceased’s son and Salah's uncle and head of the Mohamed Salah Youth Center, announced the sad news, asking everyone to pray for the deceased.
Funeral Details
Funeral prayers are expected to be held at Musa al-Kabir Mosque in the village of Nagrig, with locals and villagers attending, and the coffin to be laid to rest after the prayers.
It remains unclear whether Salah will attend the mourning rites, especially after he featured for Liverpool in the latest match against Manchester City in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Salah's fans might mourn his sleep schedule more than the man himself.
If grief could be measured in goals, Salah would be scoring tonight anyway.
