Mo Salah’s time at the Africa Cup of Nations ended sooner than expected, but his joy at seeing Egypt progress to the group stage was heartwarming.
Liverpool star Rami Abbas’ agent confirmed on Monday night that the 31-year-old will be out for three to four weeks with the injury. This means that even if Faraon makes it to the finals, he will no longer compete in the tournament. They finished second in their group with two goals in added time after tonight’s dramatic final against Cape Verde.
Mostafa Mohamed thought he had secured victory for Egypt with a goal in the 93rd minute, sparking wild celebrations from the bench by Salah and his team-mates, before the opposition hit back in the ninth minute of added time. It was fantastic to see Mo enjoying the moment despite his personal fears and he will be delighted to see his country compete for another AFCON title tonight after facing extreme difficulties when he first arrived .
