Mohamed Salah could still return to AFCON - despite heading back to Liverpool for 'intensive rehabilitation' on injury

Mohamed Salah might yet have the opportunity to help Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations, despite being ruled out for up to 28 days. 

The 31-year-old will return to Liverpool on Wednesday to get treatment for a hamstring injury he picked up in Egypt's 2-2 draw with Ghana at AFCON 2023 on Thursday 18 January. The Egyptian FA initially stated that Salah would only miss two games, though Liverpool have now clarified that the injury is "worse than first feared".
