Egypt issue Mohamed Salah injury update ahead of Liverpool return next month

Mohamed Salah is still nursing the injury he sustained against Chelsea in the FA Cup final and was unfit for the Champions League final against Real Madrid, according to Egypt's national team doctor.

Salah limped off during the first half of last month's FA Cup final triumph over Chelsea with an injury to his adductor and subsequently faced a race against time to be fit for the Champions League final in Paris. The Egyptian featured in 51 of the Reds' 63 games in all competitions as Jurgen Klopp's side featured in every fixture on offer during their astonishing pursuit of a quadruple.

In the current Liverpool squad, only Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk accumulated more minutes than Salah's 4,008. A feat made even more remarkable by the fact Salah missed six games over January and February as he led Egypt to the Africa Cup of Nations final.
