Mohamed Salah published the first picture of his rehabilitation sessions since leaving the Egyptian national team participating in the Africa Cup of Nations and returning to his club Liverpool. The Egyptian star had been injured in his country's match against Ghana in the Africa Cup of Nations a few days ago and decided to travel to Liverpool to receive the necessary treatment, hoping to return to the national team if he recovers and the "Pharaohs" continue in the tournament.
Salah faced significant criticism in sports and fandom circles in Egypt after the decision to travel to Liverpool and leave the national team during the tournament for optimal treatment. On Thursday evening, Salah shared his first picture during his rehabilitation exercises at Liverpool's training facility, showing him walking while using a resistance band on his legs.
The image attracted "mockery" from some due to the simplicity of the exercises Salah was performing, notably from former Egyptian national team star Ahmed Hossam Mido, who ridiculed the simplicity of the exercises, suggesting that Salah did not need to be at Liverpool to perform them, such as walking with a resistance band.
Salah's tweet came a few hours after he posted on "X," confirming he would start treatment and sarcastically attacked skeptics. In the tweet written in Arabic, Salah stated that he has begun a rehabilitation and treatment program to be ready to return to the national team as soon as possible.
"I started the rehabilitation program yesterday, and I will do everything possible to be ready as soon as possible and return to the national team as was agreed from the beginning... I also love it and love its people ??... Try harder ?".
It is worth noting that the Egyptian national team qualified with difficulty for the Round of 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations, where they will face the Democratic Republic of Congo on Sunday evening.
