Mohamed Salah is forced OFF with an injury during the first half of Egypt's crucial AFCON clash against Ghana

Egypt suffered a devastating blow at the end of the first half of their Africa Cup of Nations clash against Ghana as Mohamed Salah was forced off through injury.

The Liverpool star sat on the turf as the play continued, seeming to suffer from a muscle injury that ended his evening early. The Pharaohs will be holding their breath on the fitness of their talisman for the rest of the tournament.

However, things quickly went from bad to worse for the record winners when West Ham winger Mohammed Kudus put the Black Stars in the lead from a brilliant strike from range.
