Liverpool are sweating on the fitness of top scorer Mo Salah after the winger was forced off with a suspected hamstring injury during Egypt’s Africa Cup of Nations clash with Ghana.
The 31-year-old fought back tears as he was substituted on the stroke of half-time, and Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp must now desperately hope the injury is not serious, with his team just two points clear of Manchester City and Aston Villa at the top of the Premier League table.
Salah grabbed the back of his left leg following a bursting run and lay on his back receiving treatment.
