Egyptian FA vice-president Khaled Al-Dirandali admits he was "worried" for Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah over the pitch invasion against Sierra Leone.

Several fans entered the ground during the World Cup qualifier with Salah targeted - though in a friendly way.

"I felt worried after more than one fan came on to the field because the number of police on the field was small, but thank God, God covered them," admitted Al-Dirandali.

He continued: "It was not intentional because they wanted to shake hands with Mohamed Salah, but it could have caused harm."

The World Cup qualifier took place at the Samuel Kanyon Doe in nearby Liberia's capital Monrovia.
