The exact extent of Mo Salah’s hamstring injury may be unclear, though footage that has been released during Egypt’s 2-2 draw with Ghana may offer some positive insight.
The 31-year-old cut a devasted figure departing the field of play before the stroke of half-time, though quickly reemerged onto the pitch to show support for his teammates.
The Pharaohs managed to secure a 2-2 draw in the end, equalising twice to keep alive their hopes of qualification in the knockouts of the AFCON.
We’re crossing every finger and toe we’ve got that our top-scorer will be fit and able to keep participating in the tournament for his country.

Egypt’s loss may actually be to LFC advantage Hope Mo recovers soon but we didn’t expect him back till mid February in any case. For a player who is rarely injured this enforced rest may be beneficial long term.
