The injury caused Salah to ask to be substituted during Wednesday’s 4-0 Champions League win over Galatasaray, after the 33-year-old shrugged off a missed penalty to score the final goal of the last-16 tie, which Liverpool won 4-1 on aggregate.
“He is not available for tomorrow. Good thing for Liverpool is we go to the international break. Bad news for Egypt, he can’t go there,” Slot told reporters, adding that Salah had a muscle issue.
“Mo has shown in the past he can recover faster than other players. He takes such good care of his body, he can be back earlier than others as history has shown. But it’s only two weeks until we go again so let’s hope in that period of time he can be back.”
