Mohamed Salah has hit back at the critics who questioned his commitment to Egypt after he returned to England to receive treatment for the hamstring injury he sustained at the Africa Cup of Nations last week.

The Liverpool star was substituted during Egypt's 2-2 draw against Ghana last Thursday and his presence for the remainder of the tournament is in doubt.

Mail Sport understands that Salah could now be sidelined for up to four weeks and has flown back to Merseyside for treatment.

His decision to return to England was met with criticism by Egypt's legendary former midfielder Ahmed Hassan, who claimed the national captain should stay to support his team-mates.
