ABIDJAN (Reuters) - Egypt's Mohamed Salah said a statement on his injury at the Africa Cup of Nations will be made by his country and Premier League club Liverpool, leaving up in air whether he will be able to compete further at the tournament in the Ivory Coast.

The Liverpool forward and Egypt captain limped out of his country's last match on Thursday and has already been ruled out of their last Group B game against the Cape Verde Islands in Abidjan on Monday.
