Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny has also tested positive.
On Tuesday, Salah wrote on Twitter:external-link”I’d like to thank everyone for the supportive messages and well wishes. I’m confident I’ll be back on the field soon.”
Salah has started all eight of Liverpool’s Premier League games this season, scoring eight goals.
