CAN: Mohamed Salah out for two matches, loss for Egypt

Injured Egypt and Liverpool star Mohamed Salah will miss his team's next two matches at the African Cup of Nations, the Egyptian Federation announced on Friday. Salah, injured in the hamstring of his left leg against Ghana on Thursday, will miss the last match of Group B against Cape Verde and the possible round of 16 in the event of qualification, the body said in a press release.

The captain of the Pharaohs came out just before the break against the Ghanaians (2-2) complaining of the back of his left thigh. Mohamed Salah (96 caps, 54 goals), who equalized from the penalty spot in the final moments of the first match against Mozambique (2-2), definitely does not have the same success in CAN as with Liverpool. He has already lost two continental finals with Egypt, in 2017 against Cameroon (2-1), with a goal conceded in the last minutes, and in 2022 against Senegal (0-0, 4 tab to 2).

Without their star, the Egyptians, who have only two points, will play their last group match on Monday against Cape Verde, already qualified for the round of 16.
