Mohammed Sallam was spotted holding back tears at the Afcon after being ejected with injuries.

At the stroke of halftime, the Liverpool star was substituted off the field while representing Egypt against Ghana in their group-stage match.

During Egypt’s match against Ghana, Mohamed Salah required medical attention on the field. Before collapsing, Salah was grabbing his hamstring. Salah was then taken off due to an injury. It will be a devastating blow to Liverpool and Egypt alike.

Given that the forward was holding his leg behind him before collapsing to the ground, his problem appears to be a hamstring strain.

After receiving treatment from the Egyptian medical team, Salah shook his head and left the field, looking heartbroken.

As he carefully made his way to the sidelines, teammates comforted the captain.

It’s still unknown how serious Salah’s injury is at this time.

Speaking following the 2-2 result, in which Mohammed Kudus of West Ham scored a goal each for Ghana, Egypt manager Rui Votoria announced Salah will take tests.

In his words, the Portuguese coach hoped it wouldn’t be a major issue. However, it’s [too] early to tell, so I’m not sure right now.

“I don’t think it’s that serious, but we’ll see.” Watch to see whether Salah gets better.

However, Reds manager Jurgen Klopp will be restless that night as he awaits word on his star player’s condition.

Salah,31, might miss up to six weeks of action, depending on the severity of his injury, which would mean his absence from the Afcon.

Players who suffer minor hamstring injuries may miss one or two weeks of play.

Larger wounds, however, may require two to six weeks.

In their initial AFCCON match against Mozambique, Egypt only managed a 2-2 tie, but Salah’s penalty in the 97th minute earned them a point.

Before joining his country for the Afcon, he had been at the pinnacle of his career for Liverpool.

In 27 games, Salah had tallied nine assists in addition to his 18 goals.

Liverpool leads Manchester City and Aston Villa by two points at the top of the Premier League.

They are now the division’s co-most improved team because of their obvious progress from the previous season.

On Sunday, Jurgen Klopp’s team will welcome Bournemouth in an attempt to increase their advantage atop the table.
