Mohamed Salah played the entire game in Liverpool’s loss to Real Madrid in Champions League final in Paris, but Egypt’s team doctor insists that the forward was injured before the game.
Mohamed Salah was still injured when he featured for Liverpool in the Champions League final, according to Egypt’s team doctor.
Salah sustained an adductor injury in Liverpool’s FA Cup final victory against Chelsea on May 14 and was ruled out of the Reds’ next Premier League match.
On the last day of the season, the attacker came off the bench to score in a 3-1 win over Wolves before playing the entire match against Real Madrid in Paris on May 28.
Vinicius Junior’s second-half goal handed Los Blancos a 1-0 triumph despite the fact that he was unable to lead Liverpool to a seventh European title.
On June 5, Salah captained Egypt against Guinea in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
Egypt coach Ehab Galal revealed after the match that Liverpool had urged Salah to take an X-ray before playing for his country, but he declined.
Salah, who became 30 on Wednesday, told Egypt’s team doctor Mohamed Abou El Ela that due to the injury he was carrying, Galal had to prioritize the Guinea match for the captain to play in.

“Salah’s injury occurredΒ during the FA Cup final in the adductor muscles, then he played against Wolves and in the Champions League final, and all of this in just 14 days. We send and receiveΒ players with medical reports, and Liverpool’s said that he had pain and should get an X-ray, there’s not a 100 per centΒ fit player, but there’s the question of whether he can push himself and play without risk.” he toldΒ On Time Sports.
Adding that;
“The club thought that one game is enough and we chose the Guinea game because the second against Ethiopia would be hard for him to travel in a long flight. He couldn’t play anotherΒ game after three days.”
