Mohamed Salah has seemingly responded after Egypt teammate Amr Warda was sent home from the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations and banned indefinitely by the Egypt FA following allegations of sexual harassment against him from a number of women.
Warda, 25, was included in the AFCON host nation's final 23-man squad, despite reports of him allegedly having sexually harassed several women, including some of his teammate's wives, in the build-up to the tournament.

The Greek-based midfielder was, however, banished from the Pharaohs' squad hours before their 2-0 victory over DR Congo, with the Egyptian Football Association making a statement to reveal their decision to do so.
"The head of the Egyptian Football Federation, Hani Abu Reda, has decided to dismiss Amr Warda from the team's camp after consulting with the team's technical and administrative staff, in order to maintain the state of discipline, commitment and concentration," the statement read, as per The Guardian.
Salah, who netted his 40th international goal for Egypt in their 2-0 victory on Wednesday evening, posted a tweet that appeared to be directed at his teammate in the wake of the controversy.
Women must be treated with the utmost respect. “No” means “no”. Those things are and must remain sacred. I also believe that many who make mistakes can change for the better and shouldn’t be sent straight to the guillotine, which is the easiest way out.
