But salah

Ramy Abbas Issa: Premier League leaders Liverpool have confirmed that Mohamed Salah's hamstring injury suffered at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) is more serious than first thought, with the player's agent saying the Egyptian could be ruled out for "21-28 days".

The forward sustained an injury during the first half of his nation's group-stage fixture against Ghana last Thursday at the Africa Cup of Nations and was initially ruled out for just two games.

But Salah will now return to Liverpool on Wednesday to begin an intensive rehabilitation programme with Liverpool’s medical team on the muscle injury he sustained last week, a statement on the club website said.
