The discussion surrounding Mohamed Salah’s injury continues. After Jürgen Klopp’s remarks, it’s now the comments from Sadio Mané that are causing a stir.
Nearly two years after being an unfortunate finalist against Sadio Mané‘s Senegal, the Liverpool forward likely hoped for redemption with the Pharaohs this year in Côte d’Ivoire. However, his ambitions to win the trophy may be in jeopardy.

Injured and forced to leave the field during the first half of the match against Ghana on Thursday due to a hamstring injury, confirmed after medical examinations, the former AS Roma player will miss Egypt’s upcoming matches. He will be absent against Cape Verde this Monday and in the first match of the knockout stages, should the Pharaohs qualify for the second round.
Even more concerning, Mohamed Salah is set to return to Liverpool for rehabilitation and may only come back to Côte d’Ivoire to participate in a potential final. Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp emphasized, “If his condition allows it before the final, then probably yes. That’s the plan. I think everyone sees that it makes sense for him to undergo rehabilitation with us.”
Mohamed Salah’s injury has sparked a wave of emotions and concern, and Sadio Mané’s recent statements on the matter have been at the center of a media controversy. “I’ve been injured, and I know what it feels like. It’s unfortunate; he really wanted to help his country, that’s for sure,” said the Senegalese striker.
Sadio Mané’s statement on Mohamed Salah
RMC Sport shared a video clip of Sadio Mané’s response, titling it “Mané all smiles when sharing… his sorrow for Salah.” This post triggered a vehement reaction from internet users. “What is this crappy publication, RMC SPORT?” questioned Pacha, expressing clear dissatisfaction. Matozil goes further by labeling RMC as the “worst French media of all time,” questioning the media’s objective: “To divide Africans.” “Are you stupid or what?” asks Ndiaye Gainde, expressing disagreement with the media’s approach.
Pape Ndary Sarr joins the chorus of critics, urging RMC Sport to “stop creating unnecessary tensions between African countries.” Criticisms converge on the perception that the publication could exacerbate rivalries between African nations instead of promoting solidarity.
Abdou expresses surprise at the publication, asking, “Why do you do these kinds of things? Yet he didn’t say anything wrong.” Bilal Aveiro shares a sense of disappointment, emphasizing the disrespectful nature of the publication: “You are truly disappointing; what an disrespectful way to tarnish the image of a great player who shares the pain of his former teammate? It’s not cool to look for problems where there are none.”
This unanimous reaction from internet users highlights the sensitivity surrounding the relationship between Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané. The two players had some disagreements while playing together at Liverpool.
