Liverpool and Egypt forward Mohamed Salah is expected to return to play in three to four weeks if there are no setbacks in his recovery from injury, the Premier League side's assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders said on Tuesday.

The Egypt international will travel to England to undergo treatment after sustaining a hamstring injury before halftime in Thursday's 2-2 draw with Ghana at the Africa Cup of Nations in Abidjan, triggering panic at Liverpool.
