Liverpool say the leg injury Mohamed Salah suffered at the Africa Cup of Nations is “worse than first feared”, but Egypt remain hopeful he can return for a potential semi-final.
Salah was injured in Egypt’s 2-2 draw with Ghana on Thursday in Group B.
Egypt reached the knockouts on Monday after a dramatic 2-2 draw with Cape Verde as Salah watched from the stands.
Liverpool said the 31-year-old will return on Wednesday for an “intensive rehabilitation programme”.
The club added Salah’s injury was “worse than first feared”, but he will be treated with a “view to being back in action as soon as possible for club and country, giving him the best chance to return to compete at Afcon” if Egypt continue to progress.
“It makes sense that he’s doing the rehab with us,” said Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp on Sunday, before Salah’s return was confirmed.
