Mohamed Salah joins Egypt training ahead of World Cup after returning from injury

19:44 13/06/2018

Mohamed Salah joined the rest of Egypt’s squad in training on Wednesday, laying to rest any lingering fears that the injury he suffered in the Champions League final would keep him out of the World Cup.

The 25-year-old Liverpool forward suffered a dislocated shoulder on May 26 in a tangle with Real Madrid‘s Spanish defender Sergio Ramos, and at the time there were serious concerns he would have to miss this summer’s tournament in Russia altogether.

On Tuesday, however, Salah looked in good spirits as he trained with his Egypt teammates, and he may even be fit for their opener against Uruguay on Friday.

There’s been no official update as to when Salah will return, but the Egypt talisman will hope to be back in the thick of the action soon.
