Panic for Liverpool as Salah is ruled out of Egypt’s AFCON qualifiers with ankle injury

Liverpool forward, Mohamed Salah has been ruled out of Egypt’s AFCON qualifiers with an ankle injury.

The Liverpool forward suffered the injury last month following a robust challenge from Leicester City’s Hamza Choudhury.

A fernadinho first half tackle aggravated it further in the Reds’ 3-1 win over Premier League champions Manchester City at Anfield.

Salah continued after receiving treatment but later came off as a substitute. He then had his ankle strapped with ice by the club’s medical team.

Salah had jetted off to Egypt to join up with his international team-mates.

He injury was then assessed and it was determined that he will play no part in Thursday night’s clash with Kenya nor Monday’s match with Comoros.
