The Egyptian F-A have confirmed that Mo Salah will miss their next two matches at the Africa Cup of Nations.
They say the Liverpool forward suffered a hamstring injury in the first half of yesterday’s draw with Ghana.
It means Salah will miss Egypt’s remaining Group B fixture with Cape Verde, and a last-16 tie should they make it.
Roberto Lopes helped Cape Verde reach the knockout phase, playing the full 90-minutes of their 3-nil defeat of Mozambique.
Also into the last-16 with a game to spare are defending champions Senegal, after their 3-1 win over Cameroon.
Guinea kept alive their knockout ambitions with a 1-nil win over Gambia.
Algeria play Group D leaders Burkina Faso at the Africa Cup of Nations this afternoon.
At 5, Angola play Mauritania.
Mali can secure a last-16 place with victory over Tunisia in Group E from 8.
