Liverpool star and Egypt captain Mo Salah has urged his teammates to remain focused on their Africa Cup of Nations semi-final with Cameroon. The Egyptian king warned the Pharaohs not to be too excited by the prospect of winning the nation’s eighth title.

The 29-year-old is happy with how his side have performed in the tournament so far.

 “I think we played a good game against a very good Moroccan team. My teammates do what is necessary in each game and give everything to go as far as possible.

“Playing two games in a row with extra-time is not easy. But I can tell you that we are well and we are having a very good tournament.”

However, he insists that there is no time to dream as they prepare for Thursday’s huge clash against the hosts.

“We must keep our feet on the ground. Because we cannot think too far ahead yet.” The former Roma man told BBC Sport.

“We have to prepare for the big match against Cameroon and not start making dreams about the final before the semi-final.”

Egypt were defeated by the Super eagles of Nigeria in their opening fixture of the tournament. But the Pharaohs have gone on to win all of their four games since. And they have conceded just two goals all tournament.

Cameroon are unbeaten in this year’s tournament. The indomitable Lions have netted 11 goals in just five games. It looks set to be a great game and there is the potential for Salah to meet Sadio Mane in the final on February 6.

In the other semi-final, taking place on Wednesday, Senegal of Sadio Mane will face Burkina Faso.
