Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah could be facing a more extended period on the sidelines than initially anticipated, with his agent, Ramy Abbas Issa, providing a fitness update. Salah sustained an injury during the AFCON match between Egypt and Ghana. Contrary to the initial expectation of a shorter absence, Issa revealed that Salah’s injury is more serious, and the forward is expected to be out for 21-28 days.”Mohamed’s injury is more serious than first thought and he will be out for 21-28 days, not two games. His best chance at participating in the current AFCON is by undergoing intensive rehabilitation in the UK and then re-joining the Egypt team as soon as he is fit.”Salah back in England and waits Egypt to reach AFCON semi-finalsOriginally, there were plans for Salah to return to the Ivory Coast to re-join the national team for AFCON. However, the new prognosis suggests that Salah will undergo intensive rehabilitation in the UK before re-joining the Egypt team once he is deemed fit. This development raises concerns for Liverpool, as Salah’s absence could extend beyond the originally predicted timeframe, impacting the club’s fixtures.##NAJAVA_MECA_7812710##Egypt, without their captain, has drawn their opening two AFCON matches. The news has Liverpool and manager Jurgen Klopp anxious, as the team could face an extended period without Salah’s services, even if Egypt is eliminated from AFCON during the group stage. In the worst-case scenario, the Egyptian superstar might not recover from his injury until 19 February, just before the AFCON final on 11 February. This could potentially rule him out of Liverpool’s crucial matches, including the game against Arsenal on 4 February and the Premier League fixture against Luton Town on 24 February.
