Mohamed Salah picked up an injury against Ghana in the Africa Cup of Nations after scoring a big goal against Egypt.
The Liverpool star picked up the injury in Thursday night’s crucial AFCON match against Ghana. Salah was forced off the pitch with a suspected injury, but the extent of the injury is not yet known.The incident happened just minutes before the end of the first half, but Ghana took the lead and disaster ensued.
West Ham United’s Mohamed kuddus broke the deadlock with a rocket from outside the penalty area.It resulted in a painful few minutes for Egypt, who risk losing their talisman for the rest of the tournament. Salah appeared emotional as he left the pitch but was not diagnosed.Liverpool will be hoping that Jurgen Klopp’s reliance on his forwards will be less of an issue this season.
In 20 Premier League games, the former Roma star scored 14 goals and provided eight assists.The Reds are currently top of the table but need key players to chase down Manchester City. Salah’s injury could be a major blow for Egypt, who have not won the AFCON since 2010 despite being the most successful nation in the tournament.
The 31-year-old scored a goal during the match and converted a penalty kick for Mozambique in the 97th minute to level the score at 2-2. A loss to Ghana would result in an early exit from the competition.
