Hassan claims to have seen nothing from Salah in his camp to suggest that the iconic 33-year-old has been distracted by goings on at club level. He told reporters: "Salah's morale in training is very high, as if he were just starting out with the national team, and I believe he will have a great tournament with his country. I feel his motivation is very, very strong. Salah is an icon and will remain so. He is one of the best players in the world, and I support him in everything he does."
While Liverpool are looking to sweep an unfortunate episode under the carpet, questions continue to be asked of how much longer Salah - who only signed a two-year contract extension back in April - will be at Liverpool.
Interest from the Saudi Pro League is said to have been shown again, with big-spending teams in the Middle East prepared to put lucrative offers to the two-time Premier League title winner.
Hassan added on Salah being fully focused on the task in hand, with there no indication that his head has been turned as a new challenge is mooted. The Pharaohs boss added: "I don't consider what happened to him to be a crisis. These things often happen between players and coaches. We've been in contact with him by phone from the beginning, and I met with him when he joined the national team camp. His focus is entirely on the tournament."
