CAN: exams to follow Salah, affected in the hamstring

Egypt and Liverpool national team superstar Mohamed Salah was due to undergo tests on his left hamstring on Friday after coming off with an injury the day before during the 2-2 draw against Ghana in the FIFA World Cup group stage. Africa of Nations, the selection doctor told AFP. “Salah felt pain in his hamstring, which led to his substitution,” explained Mohamed Abou Elela. “He will undergo medical examinations on Friday to find out if he can play against Cape Verde.”

The Pharaohs captain came off just before the break complaining about the back of his left thigh. Later in the evening, the 31-year-old appeared to be walking normally at the Egyptian team hotel in Abidjan, the economic capital of Ivory Coast, according to an AFP journalist.

The Pharaohs, without their totem Salah, fell behind twice before snatching a draw against the Black Stars of Ghana, thanks to goals from Omar Marmoush and Mostafa Mohamed. A scenario reminiscent of the end of their first match of the tournament where they needed a Salah penalty in added time to salvage a 2-2 draw against Mozambique four days earlier. Egypt, which has only two points, will play its last group match in Group B on Monday against Cape Verde, already qualified for the round of 16.

Egypt have won the AFCON a record seven times, but the last of those titles came in 2010, a year before Salah made his international debut.
