Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah will wear the No.74 shirt during his loan spell at Fiorentina - in tribute to the victims of a stadium disaster in his home country.

Salah joined the Italian side from Chelsea on transfer deadline day as part of the deal which saw Juan Cuadrado move to Stamford Bridge.

The number 74 signifies the amount of people who died due to crowd violence at Egypt's Port Said stadium three years ago.

On 1 February 2012 supporters of Port Said based side al-Masry invaded the pitch and launched stones and fireworks at supporters of visiting side al-Ahly.

The incident was the worst in Egyptian football history.

Remarkably, it had been reported that Juan Cuadrado would also be given the No.74 shirt at Chelsea.

He wore the No.11 at Fiorentina, but with that shirt currently occupied by Blues legend Didier Drogba, Cuadrado allegedly wanted the digits on his shirt to at least add up to that number.

That was, however, not the case, as he was handed the No.23 shirt upon his arrival.
