Mo Salah, the Liverpool forward, has suffered a more serious injury than initially thought during the Africa Cup of Nations tournament.
The injury was sustained during Egypt’s 2-2 draw against Ghana, and Salah was subsequently ruled out for two games by the Egyptian team.
However, his agent, Ramy Abbas, has now revealed that the injury is worse than expected and that the player could be out for up to 28 days.
In a statement posted on X, Abbas said that Salah’s best chance of participating in the current AFCON tournament would be by undergoing intensive rehabilitation in the UK and rejoining the team as soon as he is fit.

The statement added that the injury was a muscle injury and that the player would need to rest for a few weeks to recover fully.
This news will come as a blow to Liverpool, who are currently competing in the Premier League and the Europa League.
Salah has been a key player for the team this season, and his absence will be felt.
However, the club will be hoping that the player makes a full recovery and returns to action as soon as possible.
