Total concern in Liverpool and in Egypt. Mohamed Salah has asked for the change during his team’s match against Ghana in the Africa Cup. With the score at 0-0, the winger threw himself to the ground, touching his leg and calling for assists.
The situation occurred during first-half stoppage time. Rui Vitoria, Egypt coach, reacted quickly by bringing on Fathi for the Liverpool player. The drama was even greater when, just a few seconds after Salah’s substitution, Mohamed Kudus made it 0-1 for Ghana and left the selection of the pharaohs in a critical situation.
Jürgen Klopp’s great fear could come true if Salah’s major injury is confirmed. With the key stretch of the season still to play, losing their great star would be a huge setback for the reds.
