22nd January 2024

Mo Salah is returning to Liverpool for rehab after picking up an injury at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Liverpool disclosed this in a statement on the club’s official website on Sunday.

Salah sustained an injury and was substituted in the first half of Egypt’s 2-2 draw with Ghana on Thursday.

The 31-year-old player suffered a hamstring injury and has since undergone scans.

“The Egyptian FA announces that Salah will now travel to England to receive treatment with the hope that he will join the Egyptian national team if it qualifies for the semi-finals,” manager Jürgen Klopp said in the statement.

Salah will miss Egypt’s game against Cape Verde and their following two knockout matches if they make it out of their group.

The final is not until February 11.
