The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) has announced on Tuesday that Liverpool Star Mohamed Salah would miss the Pharaohs upcoming encounters against Kenya and Comoros at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nation (AFCON) qualifiers.
The Egyptian team’s medical staff confirmed that Salah would be ruled out Egypt's squad for the upcoming clashes due to his ankle injury.
Salah underwent medical examinations, which asserted that the iconic Egyptian star would not be able to take part in the upcoming two matches, the medical staff said according to the EFA official Twitter page.

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.
