Mo Salah, named as one of Time Magazine's most influential people in the world, has called for better treatment of women in his culture.
The Liverpool forward, whose goalscoring feats are only part of his phenomenal popularity, has demanded change amongst Muslims and in the Middle East.
The 26-year-old, a practising Muslim, is one of Time Magazine's six cover choices for its list of the world's 100 most influential people.
Egyptian Salah said: "We need to change the way we treat women in our culture. That has to be, it's not optional.
"I support the woman more than I did before, because I fell like she deserves more than what they give her now at the moment."
