Mohamed Salah, Liverpool’s top attacker, was injured during a 2024 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) match against Ghana. The Egyptian player departed the field in the 33rd minute, and his side ended the game in a 2-2 tie.
The severity of the injury is uncertain, but Salah might be sidelined for some time. This has worried Liverpool fans, considering Salah is the team’s top scorer.
Salah has scored 18 goals for Liverpool in all competitions this season (2023/24). If his injury is serious, Liverpool will have significant challenges in their pursuit of Premier League and Champions League championships.
If Egypt gets eliminated early from the AFCON group stage, Liverpool might have Salah back by the end of January. However, if Salah and his colleagues make it to the final, his homecoming may be delayed until mid-February.
Liverpool faces Chelsea and Arsenal in successive matches in February, making it a pivotal month. In March, “The Reds” will play Manchester City again.
Liverpool is presently second in the Premier League standings, two points behind Manchester City.
