Jürgen Klopp currently has to do without Mohamed Salah because the Egyptian is at the Africa Cup of Nations. But Salah was injured there. A shock for the German coach.
Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp is worried about superstar Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian winger was forced off injured in Egypt’s Africa Cup of Nations game against Ghana on Thursday. The striker’s left thigh hurt.
On Friday, Klopp said at the press conference before his team’s Premier League game against Brentford: “Of course it was a shock at that moment: ‘Oh my God, what happened?'” At the same time, the successful German coach wanted to remain calm and continue the investigations wait. Egypt coach Rui Vitoria had previously said: “It’s too early to say anything. But I don’t think it’s a big problem.”
He also added: “Of course we’re worried and hope it’s not too bad. Salah is one of the best players in the world and we always want to have him with us.”
Bundesliga professional scores against Ghana
The game against Ghana ended in a 2-2 draw. The Frankfurt Bundesliga professional Omar Marmoush (69th) and Mostafa Mohamed (74th) saved Egypt at least a point after Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United (45th + 3 and 71st) had put Ghana in the lead twice.
Egypt only has two points after two games in the preliminary round in Ivory Coast and has to worry about progressing in Group B. At the end of the preliminary round we play against Cape Verde on Monday. In the disappointing 2-2 draw against outsiders Mozambique, Salah prevented an opening defeat with a foul penalty in stoppage time.
