Salah’s Absence, Liverpool’s Challenge: AFCON Injury and League Cup Final Focus

Mohamed Salah faces a race against time to recover from a hamstring injury for the AFCON, choosing treatment in England over staying with the Egyptian national team. His agent estimates a 21-28 day recovery period making him doubtful for the AFCON final. Salah could target a return in the semi-finals on February 7 or a potential final appearance on February 11.

Regardless, he’ll be absent for Liverpool throughout the tournament. If Egypt progresses, Salah might return for Liverpool’s game on February 10 or more likely on February 17 against Brentford. In Salah’s absence, Liverpool faces Chelsea in the League Cup final on February 25.

Salah, known for a mixed record in finals aims to make a significant impact. Despite his individual success with Liverpool, his record in finals and against Chelsea leaves room for improvement. Chelsea, facing their fourth successive final against Liverpool, will be wary of Salah’s potential impact.

Overall, Liverpool’s upcoming final against Chelsea provides Salah with a chance to bounce back and make a meaningful contribution after missing AFCON matches.
