\n
Egyptian forward, Mohamed Salah has spoken out for the first time since picking up a hamstring injury in the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).<\/p>\n
The Egyptian FA had on Sunday confirmed that Salah has returned to his club side, Liverpool to continue his recovery after sustaining a hamstring injury during Egypt\u2019s AFCON 2-2 draw with Ghana last Thursday.<\/p>\n
Salah will miss Egypt\u2019s final group game against Cape Verde on Monday night.<\/p>\n
The former AS Roma star will also miss Egypt\u2019s Round-of-16 match should they progress.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old should be fit in time for a quarter-final clash.<\/p>\n
Discussing his fitness ahead of the Cape Verde game, Salah told reporters on Sunday: \u201cMy injury is still there but the most important thing now is to speak about the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are very positive, we have great players and a great team, and we just need to fight and see what will happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Salah added: \u201cI would love to win it, absolutely. I have won everything possible but this one not yet.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the end of the day, we are not doing great at the moment but we have a fantastic team and a great coach, so we just need to stay focused.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe that with hard work, everything is possible, so we just need to win one game to qualify and we go from there.\u201d<\/p>\n
