During Egypt’s match against Ghana, Salah left the pitch and handed the captain’s armband to Ahmed Hegazy. At the end of the first inning, he collapsed to the ground in front of the dugout and showed the effects of his injury, showing that he could no longer continue the game.
When he caught the back of his leg, Egyptian and Liverpool fans automatically feared the worst. Liverpool’s number 10 watched from the sidelines as Ghana took the lead and Mohamed Kudus scored before half-time. But Egypt equalized with goals from Omar Marmoush and Mostafa Mohamed after Qudous restored the Black Stars’ advantage. Regarding the extent of the Egyptian captain’s injuries, Vitoria told the media: “We don’t know at the moment because it’s too early to see anything.” “I don’t think it’s dangerous, but let’s see how Salah recovers,” De Standar said.
Egypt currently have two points from their last Group B match against Cape Verde in the Africa Cup of Nations. If Cape Verde beat Mozambique on Friday, they have a chance to qualify for the AFCON playoffs on an empty stomach. Egypt may need a win against Cape Verde to avoid an early exit from the tournament.
Egypt coach Louis Vitoria believes Mohamed Salah’s injury is “not serious” after he was ruled out of the Africa Cup of Nations match against Ghana in Egypt. Mohamed Salah dropped the ball at the end of the first half, indicating that the game could not continue, which was a huge obstacle for Egypt.
