Egypt saved a point against Ghana (2-2) and he brought out his best version after the injury of wrong. However, the Liverpool attacker’s muscle problem is a huge blow to Egypt’s tournament aspirations, having lost in the last African Cup in a penalty shootout to Senegal. The Anfield team also feared the possibility that the muscle problem was long-term, as Klopp’s team expected him in February, who still have a chance to win all the competitions in which they participate.
The statement from the Egyptian federation
After the relevant medical tests, the Egyptian federation announced that: ”Mo Salah’s injury with a hamstring strain will rule him out of two African Cup of Nations matches, against Cape Verde and the round of 16 in the case of qualification”. That is, it is not a serious injury, because it will stop him from playing for between ten and fifteen days, the minimum when there is this type of muscle contraction. Now the concern of Liverpool fans is that if the national team reaches the quarterfinals, the captain and leader of the team decides to take a risk, with the risk that comes with it.
He will remain in camp with the rest of his teammates to work with and potentially play if Egypt advance. The news is overall very good, as the player came out almost crying when he was substituted and all the alarms went off. The image is more reassuring once the fight is over in the mixed zone, with no visible problems and smiling.
