Egyptian striker Mohamed Salah will return to Liverpool to treat his leg injury sustained during the African Cup of Nations, the English club and the Egyptian federation said on Sunday.
“After new examinations carried out on Mohamed Salah in recent hours, and after discussions between the medical staff of the selection and Liverpool, it was decided that the player would return to England after the match against Cape Verde on Monday in order to be treated there,” wrote the federation.
She adds to keep “the hope that he can join the national team for the semi-final of the CAN if we qualify”.
“It is logical” that the winger leaves the CAN, at least temporarily, to be followed by the Liverpool medical team, had previously estimated the German technician of Liverpool Jürgen Klopp after the 5-0 victory Sunday at Bournemouth.
“Whatever the duration of his absence, everyone sees him like that, it is logical that he does his rehabilitation with us or with our medical team.
“Côte d’Ivoire is a wonderful country, I’m sure, but we don’t have anyone from home there and they have to take care of those who play, so we’ll see,” he said. he concluded.
The Egyptian Pharaohs star injured the hamstring in his left leg against Ghana (2-2) on Thursday. The federation has already announced its withdrawal for the last match of Group B against Cape Verde and the possible round of 16 in the event of qualification.
