Salah Expected to Return in Three to Four Weeks After Hamstring Injury

Liverpool's Assistant Manager Defends Salah's Decision to Return to Liverpool for Treatment Amid Criticism

Mohamed Salah, Liverpool and Egypt forward, is expected to return to play in three to four weeks after sustaining a hamstring injury during the Africa Cup of Nations.
Salah's decision to leave Egypt's training camp and return to Liverpool for treatment has sparked criticism in his homeland, but Liverpool's assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders defended Salah's commitment.
The decision for Salah to return to Liverpool was made jointly by the medical teams of Egypt and Liverpool, with the aim of giving Salah the best chance of being available for the final if Egypt progresses that far.
Ahmed Hassan, Egypt’s most-capped player and four-times Afcon winner, accused Salah of “plotting his departure” and claimed he should have stayed with the squad.
Liverpool will have Andy Robertson available for Wednesday’s Carabao Cup semi-final second leg at Fulham after three months out with a dislocated shoulder.
