Mohamed Salah will miss Egypt’s vital Africa Cup of Nations Group B game against Cape Verde on Monday with a hamstring injury.
The 31 year old Liverpool forward, has also been ruled out of a last-16 tie should Egypt qualify.
Salah limped off before half-time in the 2-2 draw with Ghana on Thursday.
The result has left the record seven-time African champions needing to beat the already-qualified Cape Verde to guarantee their progression.
Salah will therefore only feature in the tournament again if Egypt advance to a quarter-final on 2 or 3 February.
