Follow usLiverpool and Egypt forward Mohamed Salah is anticipated to make a comeback in three to four weeks, provided there are no complications in his recovery from a hamstring injury, according to the Premier League side’s assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders. Salah sustained the injury before halftime in Thursday’s 2-2 draw with Ghana at the Africa Cup of Nations in Abidjan, causing concern among Liverpool fans.
Lijnders informed reporters that Salah’s hamstring injury is a significant tear, and the expected return to play is contingent on a smooth and problem-free recovery process. The Dutchman expressed confidence in the treatment approach, citing the prior care of Salah’s body.
The decision for Salah to undergo treatment in England rather than remaining with the Egyptian national team, which has advanced to the last 16 of the tournament, was a collaborative one. Both the medical teams from Liverpool and Egypt worked closely together to reach this decision, ensuring Salah’s best chances of returning if Liverpool reaches the League Cup final.
Liverpool, with a record nine League Cup victories, heads to Craven Cottage for the semi-final second leg against Fulham on Wednesday, holding a 2-1 advantage from the first leg. The team is likely to benefit from the return of left-back Andy Robertson, who has been sidelined since October with a shoulder injury.
