Reason For Mohamed Salah’s Disappearance On Instagram And Twitter Explained

Mohamed Salah baffled football fans all over the world after posting a cryptic message to his millions of social media followers before deleting his accounts on Twitter and Instagram.

Searches for Mohamed Salah’s accounts on the popular social media platforms drew blanks on Wednesday, with the forward appearing to have deactivated his accounts on both Twitter and Instagram, where he has a combined following of more than 20 million.

Salah, 26, tweeted to his 7.78 million followers on Tuesday evening with a cryptic message reading: “2019 Resolution: Time to get in touch, for real.”

That appears to have been the signal for the star’s social media withdrawal on Wednesday, when both of his accounts disappeared.
