Mo Salah Leaves Egypt's Win vs. Swaziland Injured After Record-Breaking Goal

Liverpool will be anxiously awaiting news on Mohamed Salah after he suffered an injury in Egypt's 4-1 win over Swaziland on Friday.

According to Goal, the forward was forced off the pitch for treatment in the 88th minute of the match but had to be withdrawn in added time, leaving the Pharaohs with 10 men for the final minutes.

The 26-year-old had scored Egypt's fourth goal directly from a corner, taking him past Hossam Hassan to a record 13 goals in Africa Cup of Nations qualifying.

Salah's injury is set to be assessed, but Egypt assistant coach Hany Ramzy felt optimistic about his fitness.

He told BeIN Sports (h/t Goal): "[The] initial diagnosis of the medical staff of [the] Egypt national team is that Salah suffered a muscular injury. He will be examined to determine the details, but in my opinion it is not dangerous."

The strike took Salah to 40 career goals for Egypt, though he's still 39 short of Hassan's tally for the Pharaohs.

Liverpool will be hoping the injury does not affect his fitness significantly, as they face Huddersfield Town, Red Star Belgrade and Cardiff City this month before taking on Arsenal on November 3.

Salah has scored just three times for the Reds in 11 matches this season, but he remains vital to their success.
