Salah was forced off with a suspected hamstring injury while the severity is not yet known.
The incident happened minutes before the end of the first half but further disaster struck when Ghana took the lead.
West Ham United‘s Mohammed Kudus let loose a rocket from outside the box to break the deadlock.
It made it a miserable few minutes for Egypt, who could now face losing their talisman for the rest of the tournament.
Salah looked emotional as he left the pitch but no diagnosis has been carried out.
Liverpool will be hoping that the problem is minor with Jurgen Klopp reliant on the striker this season.
In 20 Premier League appearances, the ex-AS Roma star has scored 14 and assisted eight.
The Reds are currently at the top of the table but will need their main man to be fit to keep Manchester City at bay.

And Salah’s injury could be a huge blow to Egypt, who have not won the AFCON since 2010 despite being the country with the most success in the tournament.
The 31-year-old had already scored at the competition, netting a 97th-minute penalty against Mozambique to level the scores 2-2.
Defeat to Ghana will leave them staring at an early exit from the competition.
Egypt face Cape Verde in their final group stage match while a loss would leave them bottom of their four-team group.
Cape Verde claimed a famous win over Ghana on Sunday and take on Mozambique on Friday afternoon in what is shaping up to be a tasty group at AFCON.
