BAD NEWS: Mohamed Salah sustains an injury in the match against Ghana.
In a potentially serious turn of events, Mohamed Salah suffered an injury significant enough to make him leave the field during Egypt’s match against Ghana in the group stage.
The exact nature of the injury is not clear, as there was no obvious contact with other players. The 31-year-old left the field after an unsuccessful counter-attack, showing visible frustration.
Salah, who is the top scorer for Liverpool, seemed disheartened in the games he played for Egypt in this year’s African Cup of Nations.
Despite assisting the first goal and confidently converting a penalty in the opener against Mozambique, he appeared frustrated during 45 goal-less minutes against Ghana.
It’s uncertain whether Salah has been dealing with an injury throughout the tournament or if he is fatigued from participating in 34 matches for both his club and country this season.
Fans can only hope that, regardless of Egypt’s performance in recovering from their slow start in the competition, Salah will return to Liverpool without any harm whenever he makes his comeback.
