Liverpool star Mohamed Salah could miss the Egyptian team's upcoming clashes against Kenya and Comoros at 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

The Pharaohs are set to begin their adventure in the 2021 AFCON qualifiers versus Kenya on 14th November, before heading to Moroni to play Comoros four days later.

Mirror newspaper reported that the 27-year old would miss the seven-time African champions' upcoming encounters versus Kenya and Comoros due to his ankle injury.

"Egypt meet Kenya and Comoros during the break, but Salah is set to miss both after undergoing a scan on his ankle," the British newspaper said.

Salah’s injury began when he suffered a serious one and was replaced by Adam Lallana during the Reds’ 2-1 victory over Leicester City after he was hacked down by Hamza Choudhury.

His injury returned once again during Liverpool’s 2-1 hard-fought victory over Tottenham as he was replaced by Joe Gomez in the 85th minute of the game.

The iconic Egyptian star joined the Egyptian national team preparatory camp ahead of the Pharaohs’ clash against Kenya. Mo Salah arrived in the hotel, where the Pharaohs stay.

Mo has delivered a stunning performance with Liverpool, especially during this current season, as he guided his team to attain the Premier League leadership as they cemented their leadership supremacy to eight points.

He also led his team to win the Uefa Super Cup at the beginning of the season after defeating Chelsea on penalties.

Yesterday, ESPN reported that Liverpool are concerned over Salah’s recent injury. Liverpool expressed a major concern, especially when the iconic Egyptian star took another knock during the Reds 3-1 Premier League victory over Man City on Sunday at Anfield.

“The Premier League league leaders wanted the 27-year-old to remain on Merseyside and undertake a scan on the problem, which has been carefully managed by Liverpool, but aggravated after a fair but firm challenge from Fernandinho at Anfield on Sunday,” ESPN reported.
