Liverpool’s assistant manager, Hossam Hassan, has expressed worries over the potential injury risk that Mohamed Salah faced while representing Egypt in their Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Mauritania. The match, played on an artificial pitch, raised concerns within the Liverpool camp as Salah’s fitness and well-being are a top priority for the Premier League club.
Salah is a key player for Liverpool and any potential injury could have serious repercussions for the team’s title defense. Hassan’s comments highlight the importance of player safety, especially when playing on surfaces that may increase the risk of injury.
Despite the concerns, Salah played the full 90 minutes in Egypt’s 1-0 victory over Mauritania and emerged unscathed. However, the incident serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by clubs when their players are called up for international duty.
It is clear that Liverpool will continue to monitor Salah’s condition closely in the coming weeks to ensure that he remains fit and healthy for the remainder of the season. Salah’s importance to the team cannot be overstated, and the club will do everything in its power to protect its star player from unnecessary injury risks.
