Liverpool star Mohamed Salah admits his Egypt side will have to be at their best mentally to win the African Cup of Nations.

The Egyptians take on hosts Cameroon in the semi finals, and know they cannot make any mistakes if they are to advance to the final.

Salah was at his best when Egypt went past Morocco in the quarter finals, scoring one and assisting the other goal.

"Physically, I'm fine, the players are fine, playing two games—240 minutes—in six days is fine, we're young, we're healthy," he told GOAL.

"But we have to fight with our mind.

"I told the players after 90 minutes that they were brave, very brave, and we gave 100 percent to win the game.

"The players have given everything in each match."
