Liverpool fans are frantic over the fitness of Mohamed Salah after the winger was forced off with an injury in the first half of Egypt's African Cup of Nations 2023 clash against Ghana.
Salah was substituted in the 2nd minute of additional time in the first half, and he was replaced by Pyramids FC Mostafa Fathi.

The encounter involving giants of the African game lit up magnificently, with both teams bringing their A-game to the fold.

Nine minutes after the hour mark, Omar Marmoush equalized for Egypt, before Kudus got Ghana back ahead in the 71st minute.
Three minutes after Mohammed Kudus' goal, The Pharaohs once again exuded their attacking instinct, with Mostafa Mohamed netting the final goal of the clash.
