Mohammed Salah, the main weapon, was knocked out of the field for at least three weeks to bring Egypt into the World Cup. The football federation, however, is not leaving the hopes of its game. They are hoping to play at least two matches.
After meeting with Salah Khan, president of the Association Hani Abu Reda, and the team doctor's meeting, the federation said in a statement, "The federation is firmly saying that Salah will play in the World Cup, and he will not be out of the field for more than three weeks."
Three weeks out of the ground means that Salah will not be able to return to the game before at least 17 June. That means, Egypt will play the first match against Uruguay on June 15 in Egypt 'A', which will take part in the World Cup for the first time since 1990. The remaining two matches will be played on June 19 in Russia and June 25 against Saudi Arabia in Egypt. Egypt is fully optimistic about getting him in these two matches
On 26 May, Salah arrived in Valencia on Sunday for rehabilitation after losing the Liverpool defeated match 3-1 in Real Madrid against Real Madrid on Sunday.
