Liverpool star Mo Salah’s injury, sustained during Egypt’s 2-2 draw with Ghana at the Africa Cup of Nations, is reportedly “more serious than first thought.” Initially believed to be a minor hamstring tweak, Salah flew back to England for treatment at Liverpool, raising concerns about his participation in the tournament.

Recent scans have indicated that Salah may be sidelined for up to a month, casting doubt on his ability to feature in the remaining matches of the Africa Cup of Nations, with the final scheduled for February 11. Salah’s agent, Ramy Abbas, confirmed the extended recovery period and emphasized the player’s commitment to intensive rehabilitation in the UK before rejoining the Egyptian team.

Criticism has surfaced from national team legend Ahmed Hassan, who expressed disappointment in Salah’s decision to return to Liverpool. Hassan believes Salah’s absence could impact Egypt’s chances in the tournament and emphasized the importance of the captain staying with the team despite the setback.
