Liverpool said on its official website on the 23rd, "Salach will return to the training center and start an intensive recovery program."
Salah injured his left thigh back muscle (hamstring) just before the end of the first half in the second Group B match against Ghana of the African Cup of Nations on the 19th.
Despite Salah's absence, Egypt managed to reach the round of 16 by maintaining the second place in the group with three draws as it drew 2-2 with Cabo Verde in the third match on the 23rd. The Egyptian Football Association had hope that Salah would rejoin the national team if it reached the semifinals of the African Cup of Nations, which entered the tournament stage.
However, the result of Salah's thorough examination of the injured area is somewhat negative. Salah's agency revealed his diagnosis that he needs three to four weeks to recover. The final (Feb. 11), which is not the semifinal of the African Cup of Nations, is also not easy to guarantee.
It's a nightmare reality for Liverpool. 토토사이트
Liverpool has already played three games, including the Cup tournament, without Salah, and up to six games in the future are in a position to prepare for a gap. It is a big blow in that Salah is tied for the top scorer with Elling Holan (Manchester City) with 14 goals in the English Premier League (EPL) this season.
Salah is also swallowing regret. His dream to become like Lionel Messi of Inter Miami, who gave Argentina the trophy at the 2022 Qatar World Cup is on the verge of collapse. Salah participated in the Africa Cup of Nations three times and scored five goals, but his best performance was the runner-up at the 2021 Cameroon Games. Having failed to win the title this time, he now has a priority to recover himself. Attention is now focusing on whether Salah will make a miraculous recovery and return to the Africa Cup of Nations.
