Liverpool expect Salah to miss remainder of Christmas programme

Liverpool expect Mohamed Salah to miss the next two weeks after receiving a knock in victory over Leicester City.

The Mirror says Salah has been ruled out for at least a fortnight after limping away from Liverpool's win.

The Egypt international will be allowed to travel to Ghana, along with club-mate Sadio Mane, later in the week to attend Thursday's Confederation of African Football.

Both men are short-listed for the honour, with Salah favourite to win it.

It means Mane is also virtually certain to miss the FA Cup third-round showdown with derby rivals Everton, which takes place the following night.

Liverpool do not have another game after that until they host Manchester City on Sunday, January 14.
