The second round of Africa Cup of Nations group games kick off in Morocco. Fans will have their eyes on Egypt. Not just because of their record at the tournament — they've won seven AFCON titles — but because the squad features star player Mo Salah.

While Salah has had a tough season in the Premier League with Liverpool, he remains one of the greatest players in the world. But he's never won the AFCON with Egypt and he'll be looking to captain his country to success and extend Egypt's impressive record. South Africa, meanwhile, are also looking to make a statement in Group B.
