Agent confirms Salah injury 'more serious than first thought', names return date

Mo Salah's agent Ramy Abbas Issa has provided a worrying injury update on his client.

"Mohammed’s injury is more serious than first thought and he will be out for 21-28 days, and not 2 games," he tweeted.

"His best chance at participating in the current AFCON is by undergoing intensive rehabilitation in the UK and rejoining the team as soon as he is fit."

The 31-year-old sustained the injury in Egypt's game against Ghana. He returned to Liverpool to work on his recovery.
