Liverpool star Mohamed Salah faced an emotional moment as he was forced off injured during Egypt’s Afcon group-stage clash against Ghana. Salah, captaining the Egyptian side, suffered what appears to be a hamstring injury on the stroke of half-time, holding the back of his leg before leaving the pitch. The forward looked visibly devastated, shaking his head as he walked to the sidelines, where he was consoled by teammates.
The extent of Salah’s injury remains unclear, but Egypt manager Rui Vitoria stated that tests will be conducted to assess the situation. After the game, which ended in a 2-2 draw with West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus scoring both goals for Ghana, Vitoria expressed hope that Salah’s injury is not serious but acknowledged that it’s too early to determine. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will anxiously await updates on Salah’s condition, with the possibility of the 31-year-old being sidelined for several weeks, depending on the severity of the injury.
Salah had been in exceptional form for Liverpool before joining Egypt for Afcon, contributing 18 goals and nine assists in 27 games. Liverpool currently leads the Premier League, two points ahead of Manchester City and Aston Villa. Salah’s absence could impact both Egypt’s Afcon campaign and Liverpool’s quest for the league title. Klopp’s team faces Bournemouth on Sunday, aiming to extend their lead at the top.
