There is reason to believe, too, that Salah will be able to stave off the kind of decline typically seen in players around his age and extend his prime longer than most. This is because, compared to many of his superstar peers, he was a relatively late bloomer. He was not – like, say, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo or Neymar – playing 50-plus elite-level games per season by his late teens.
Salah first moved to Europe at age 20 when he signed for Swiss side FC Basel. He then had an unsuccessful spell with Chelsea. It wasn’t until he joined Roma in 2015, at age 23, that he first played more than 1,500 minutes within a single season in a top European league. The reduced wear and tear of a lower early career workload should aid his longevity.
The man doesn't drink, he's in great shape, and he has the wonders of modern sport medicine to lean on. I think he's got another 2 seasons of peak form ahead of him after this one.
