Cairo court sets October 25 verdict in legal-fees suit against Mohamed Salah

A Cairo court has deferred judgment to October 25 in a lawyer's lawsuit against Mohamed Salah over unpaid legal fees.

• Salah, captain of Egypt and player at Trabzonspor, was absent from Sunday's hearing at the Cairo court.
• The court had ordered Salah to appear in person to take a decisive oath; his failure would legally deem him to have refused it.
• Lawyer Amr Farag filed the suit demanding fees for legal services he said he provided to Salah.
• Farag also seeks compensation for alleged material, moral and professional damages, citing a power of attorney dating from July 2012.
