In a major setback for Egypt's AFCON (Africa Cup of Nations) aspirations, the team's captain and star player, Mohamed Salah, has been ruled out of two crucial games due to a hamstring injury.
The Egyptian Football Association confirmed this unfortunate development, specifying that Salah's return would only be possible if the team advances to the quarter-finals. Salah, a key figure for Egypt, left the field during the Pharaohs' recent 2-2 draw against Ghana. His absence will be felt in the upcoming group stage match against Cape Verde and any subsequent last-16 fixture.
Egypt, currently needing a victory against Cape Verde, faces the challenge of advancing to the knockout stage without their prolific forward. Fans and football enthusiasts are left pondering the impact of Salah's injury on Egypt's AFCON journey.
