Mohamed Salah deemed fit to face Uruguay

Mohamed Salah has been deemed fit enough to play in Egypt’s World Cup opener against Uruguay tomorrow.

The Egyptian has been recovering from his shoulder injury that he received in the Champions League final against Real Madrid in Kiev.

Egypt coach, Hector Cuper, has given clarity around Salah’s situation after days of uncertainty.

“Unless something dramatic happens today or tomorrow, Salah will 100% play against Uruguay,” said Cuper.

“We’re trying to make him feel confident. The doctors are giving him the options to play or not. I know Salah very well, he’s not fearful, we always know we’re running a risk when playing a match, that’s something we can’t hide.

“But if he does decide to play he’ll have full guarantees on his physical condition and I’m sure he will be fine. And if it does turn out there’s an issue at the last minute we’ll consider it and see if it can be resolved.”
