Mohamed Salah has been forced off in the game between Ghana and Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d'Ivoire.

The talismanic forward had been quiet in the game before signaling the technical team of the Pharaohs for him to be substituted due to a hamstring injury. He was replaced by Mohamed Fathi.

The Liverpool ace's future at the tournament remains a doubt with the medical team of Egypt yet to assess his fitness level.

Salah scored late in Egypt's opening game to rescue a point for the seven-time champions in their game against Mozambique.

Moments before leaving the pitch, West Ham United star Mohammed Kudus gave the Black Stars the lead at the stroke of half-time.
