In a potentially concerning development, Mohamed Salah suffered an injury during Egypt’s group stage match against Ghana, prompting him to leave the field. The exact nature of the injury is unclear, as there was no apparent contact with other players, and Salah exited after an unsuccessful counter-attack.
Liverpool’s top scorer expressed frustration in the games he played for Egypt in the African Cup of Nations, despite assisting the first goal and confidently converting a penalty against Mozambique. Salah’s visible disheartenment persisted during 45 goal-less minutes against Ghana.
It remains uncertain whether Salah has been carrying an injury throughout the tournament or is fatigued from participating in 34 matches for both club and country this season. Fans can only hope that, regardless of Egypt’s performance in overcoming their slow start, Salah will return to Merseyside unharmed whenever his comeback occurs.
