Mohamed Salah was spotted back in training at Liverpool with a huge smile on his face on Tuesday, having already recovered from his AFCON injury.
Salah has not played for Liverpool since New Year’s Day, having suffered a serious hamstring injury in the AFCON group stages with Egypt that forced him to return to Anfield early for treatment. The 31-year-old was initially expected to be out for a significant period, but has recovered ahead of schedule, and looked to be in great spirits when stepping out onto the training turf at Melwood on Tuesday morning.
Salah limped off just before half-time during Egypt’s 2-2 draw with Ghana on January 18, and was subsequently ruled out of action for a month after being evaluated by medical staff. Egypt exited the AFCON at the round of 16 stage in Salah’s absence, ending any hope of a potential final return for the attacker, who was instead able to focus all his energy into completing a rehabilitation programme at Liverpool’s training base..
