The Egypt Football Association (EFA) confirmed he will continue his treatment at his club as Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp had suggested earlier on Sunday following its 4-0 Premier League win at Bournemouth.

Mohamed Salah will return to Liverpool for treatment on his hamstring injury but only after watching Egypt complete its group institutions at the Africa Cup of Nations tests when they meet Cape Verde islets in Abidjan on Monday.

The Egypt Football Association (EFA) verified he’ll continue his treatment at his club as Liverpool director Juergen Klopp had suggested before on Sunday following its 4- 0 Premier League palm at Bournemouth.

Egypt, still, still hope Salah could play a part at the event.

“We’re hoping to catch him in the semi-finals of the Africa Nations Cup in case of qualification, ” the EFA said in a statement.

It’s still not clear how long Salah will be out after pulling up with the hamstring injury before halftime in their clash against Ghana on Thursday but Klopp said “ still long he’s out, I suppose presumably everybody sees that it makes sense that he’s doing the recovery with us or with our people.

On whether Salah could feature again for Egypt during the event at the Ivory Coast, Klopp said “ I ’m not a croaker. I would say if Egypt qualify for the final and he’s fit before the final also presumably yes. Why not? ”

Salah spoke to journalists before on Sunday but didn’t offer more on his injury.

“My injury is still there but the most important thing now is to speak about the game, ” he told a press conference ahead of the Cape Verde game.

“Our primary thing is to secure qualification for the coming round, with professed players, a good trainer and a clear vision.

“We ’re completely committed to giving our stylish in the event and we just need to fight and see what will be, ” he added of the game with Cape Verde, who despite being the lowest country at the tests have formerly secured top place in the group.

Salah also spoke about the fact he has yet to win a jewel with Egypt, having doubly been a runner- up at the Cup of Nations.

“I’ve won everything possible but not this one yet. It’ll be ever, that’s what I believe, and whatever I believe I achieve, so sooner or latterly it’ll be.

“Everybody knows what it means to any player to win an Africa Cup. We were unlucky at the last bone and also in Gabon. The players are veritably motivated to win the event. We all want to win it. ”

Salah, who has 96 caps, was in the side that lost to Cameroon in the 2017 decider in Gabon and again at the last edition in Cameroon two times agone, where Senegal edged them on post-match penalties. Know More Latest Football News…
