Mohamed Salah’s injury is ‘more serious than previously thought’ and his agent says the Liverpool star will now undergo intensive rehabilitation.
Salah suffered an injury during the Africa Cup of Nations match against Ghana and came off in the first half. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said on Sunday the striker would return to Merseyside to begin his recovery, and the player’s agent has now confirmed the injury is more serious than initially feared.
A month without Mohamed Salah?
“ The injury is more serious than we thought. He will be out for 21 to 28 days“said the attacker’s agent, Ramy Abbas, on X. “His best chance of participating in the ongoing AFCON is to undergo intensive rehabilitation in the UK and return to the team as soon as he is fit. »
With a possible four-week unavailability for the Egyptian star, his hopes of returning to Ivory Coast to participate in the continental competition appear slim. The Pharaohs would have to go all the way to the final and his rehabilitation at Liverpool would have to go well so that he could help the national team. Otherwise, he could miss at least six matches with Liverpool between now and his expected return towards the end of February. The 31-year-old will begin to recover from his muscle injury and hopes to be back on the pitch before long.
