To play for your country is one of the biggest and proudest achievements for any sportsman, footballers included. And Mohamed Salah is one of those players. The Egyptian captain has always been there with the team, played all games and said how proud he was for playing for Pharaohs. And then he got injured against Ghana in a game with his team got only one point (2-2). Despite initially clutching his hamstring, the Egypt FA confirmed the 31-year-old had suffered a strain in his posterior muscle. And when Liverpool heard the command from Enfield road was – come back. Salah decided that England doctors are better than his own and will come back. Mo Salah will return to Liverpool to recover from the injury he sustained at AFCON and won’t be considered for selection by Egypt unless they reach the semi-finals 🤕 pic.twitter.com/ILXajsJnof— ESPN UK (@ESPNUK) January 22, 2024 Coach Jurgen Klopp confirmed that his best player will be in England soon.“That’s the plan. If that’s already decided (trails off…). However long he is out, it probably makes sense for everybody to rehab with us and our people. That’s the plan. If that’s written in stone already, I don’t know. He’s contacted our doctor and the doc tells me the news. So… I think he will be back. I’m not a medic. I’m not a doctor. I would say if Egypt qualifies for the final then probably yes, he could go back. Ivory Coast I’m sure it’s a wonderful country, but we have no people from us there. They have people who have to take care of the players who are playing” said the German. Jota and Nunez bring down Bournemouth with a brace eachSo basically, Liverpool want to protect its best player by any means necessary since they are in a title race, and it seems that Salah agreed to this, even thou he is the captain and his presence would be of great advantage to his teammates in Ivory Coast. After all, Cape Verde are all but qualified for the second round, while Ghana is playing lowly Mozambique and could eliminate Egypt in the group stage already. Klopp admits he wishes Egypt to crash out of AFCON earlyThe Egyptian FA couldn’t do much about it and admitted:“The Egyptian FA announces that Mohamed Salah will travel to England to receive treatment following the match between Egypt and Cape Verde, with the hope that he will join the Egyptian national team if it qualifies for the semi-finals” reads the statement. ##NAJAVA_MECA_7812710##
