Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah is set to return to the club for injury treatment, as confirmed by the Egyptian Football Association.
This decision follows Salah's injury during Egypt’s Africa Cup of Nations campaign. Although he's expected to miss the next two games, there's a possibility of his return for the tournament’s semi-finals if Egypt progresses.
After further examinations, it was decided that Salah would head back to England after Egypt’s final Group B match against Cape Verde.

The Egyptian FA stated, “After additional examinations were conducted on Mohamed Salah during the last hours, and after communication between the national team’s medical staff and his counterpart at Liverpool FC, it was decided that the player will return to England after the Cape Verde match tomorrow to complete his treatment, with the hope that he will join the national team in the semi-final of the AFCON if we qualify.”
Liverpool felt Salah’s absence in their game against Bournemouth, but they secured a 4-0 win, extending their lead at the top of the Premier League table.
Discussing Salah’s return, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said, “That’s the plan…
“However long he’s out, probably everybody sees it like this, it makes sense that he’s doing the rehab with us or with our people.”
