Salah went down after a chal- lenge from Hamza Choudhury and was later substituted and seen limping out of Anfield af- ter Liverpool's 2-1 win over the Foxes. Salah will not be involved in any international duty so has two weeks to recover in time for Liverpool's huge showdown with Manchester United at Old Traf- ford, when they will try to match Manchester City's record of 18 Premier League wins in a row. It is thought that Salah has merely twisted the ankle and avoided any more serious inju- ries, but the club will continue to monitor him at Melwood as he receives treatment. Liverpool insist it is too early to say whether he will be fit for that trip to Old Trafford on Sunday, October 20. Salah was forced off in added time after being caught on the left ankle by a lunge from Choudhury, which resulted in the Leicester substitute being booked. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp branded the challenge "dangerous as hell" and Salah, who has been rested by Egypt boss Mohamed Barakat with an eye on next month's 2021 Af- rica Cup of Nations qualifiers against Kenya and Comoros, left Anfield on Saturday limping significantly. After the match Choudhury was subjected to a torrent of rac- ist abuse on social media, which Leicester subsequently reported to police. "We are appalled by these com- ments, which the club has report- ed to the police and to the social media platform on which they were made," said a Foxes spokes- man. "Discriminatory behaviour has no place in football or in society and we will seek the strongest possible course of action to be taken against those responsible."
