After the 2022/23 Premier League campaign came to an end last weekend, you'd expect most players to already be off on holiday with their families and making the most of the close-season.
As a result, the summer months are often littered with elite football stars posting social media updates from all four corners of the globe as they enjoy the sun, before reporting back for pre-season in July.
But not Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian's club season might have only finished four days ago, but the 30-year-old is still working hard after posting a picture of himself sitting on an exercise ball at the gym on his Instagram story.
