Fans are ecstatic following the news, as Salah is a player who will drastically add to the World Cup’s inticing nature, and he will also drastically add to Egypt’s chances of qualifying from their group.
Salah, who sustained his shoulder injury in the Champions League final versus Real Madrid, has been working hard on his recovery since the injury occurred, even flying out to Spain to meet with experts.
The hard work appears has paid off, much to the delight of the fans, who are now looking forward to seeing the extent of which Salah will be able to play.
The golden-boot winner will face off against Uruguay out of ‘group A’ on Friday the 15th, with kick off set for 1 pm.
He has been tipped by many to challenge for the ballon d’Or award and a string of dazzling performances at the World Cup should boost the right-winger’s chances of claiming the individual accolade.
