Salah played all seven of his country’s Afcon games, with each of their four knockout ties going to extra-time.

Fellow Reds team-mate Sadio Mane scored the winning penalty for Senegal in the final.
He is expected to return to his homeland to celebrate his country’s first triumph in the tournament and it is not known when he will be back with the Anfield side.
Liverpool have won two league games, two FA Cup ties and beaten Arsenal over two legs in the Carabao Cup semi-final while Salah and Mane have been away on international duty.
Salah, 29, has scored 23 goals for the Reds this season, with 16 coming in the top flight.
