Liverpool"s assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders has insisted Mohamed Salah"s commitment should never be doubted after his imminent return from the Africa Cup of Nations to have treatment on a hamstring injury provoked criticism. The Egypt captain will fly back from Ivory Coast on Wednesday so the club"s medical staff can take care of his rehabilitation, with the hope he could rejoin the national team should they reach the latter stages of the tournament. Lijnders insisted that the move "is an example of how international football and club football should cooperate – to put the player in the centre".
