Liverpool star Mohamed Salah is heading back to the club for injury rehabilitation.
Salah has been injured since going down in a group stage game against Ghana on Thursday.
Egypt's national team issued the following statement: "The Egyptian FA announces that Salah will now travel to England to receive treatment with the hope that he will join the Egyptian national team if it qualifies for the semi-finals."
Salah is said to have enough time to get back to action for the latter stages of the competition.
The AFCON final is on February 11th, but he would need to hope his teammates can reach the semi-finals at the very least.
Asked about Salah, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp stated: "If he is fit before the final then probably yes [he will go back].
"That's the plan. If that's already decided 100 per cent, I don't know. But that's the plan.
"I think probably everybody sees it makes sense that he's doing the rehab with us or with our people.
"That's the plan. But if it's written in stone already, I don't know."
