Liverpool star Mohamed Salah's injury is worse than first feared after scans this week.

The Egyptian is set to miss a month of action, which has ruled him out of the remainder of the African Cup of Nations.

Salah sustained the injury in an AFCON group stage game, flying back to England over the weekend for treatment.

Per The Mail, Salah is likely to go through extensive rehabilitation to try and come back quicker.

“Mohammed's injury is more serious than first thought and he will be out for 21-28 days, and not 2 games," agent Ramy Abbas said.

“His best chance at participating in the current AFCON is by undergoing intensive rehabilitation in the uk and rejoining the team as soon as he is fit."
