Mohamed Salah has picked up a hamstring injury while on international duty with Egypt in AFCON 2023.
Salah sustained the injury during Egypt’s 2-2 draw with Ghana on Thursday.
Speaking on his issue, Salah said on Sunday: “My injury is still there but the most important thing now is to speak about the game.
“We are very positive, we have great players and a great team, and we just need to fight and see what will happen.”
Egypt have last won the tournament in 2010 and have reached finals in 2017 and 2021.
Salah added: “I would love to win it, absolutely. I have won everything possible but this one not yet.
“It will happen somehow, that is what I believe, and whatever I believe I achieve, so sooner or later it will happen. Everybody knows what it means to any player to win an Africa Cup.
“We were unlucky at the last one and also in Gabon. The players are very motivated to win the tournament. We all want to win it.
“At the end of the day we are not doing great at the moment but we have a fantastic team and a great coach, so we just need to stay focused. I believe that with hard work everything is possible, so we just need to win one game to qualify and we go from there.”
