Mohamed Salah has still not recovered from his injury that he suffered a few days ago while playing the Champions League Final 2018 against Real Madrid in Kiev. It was his tackle with Sergio Ramos that made Mo Salah collapse on the ground on the opposite shoulder. This forced him to leave the stadium teary-eyed within the first 30 minutes of the game. After his short treatment in Egypt, the team reached Russia for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
When getting off the bus, a fan came to Mo Salah requesting a selfie and obliged with the same. However, the fan placed his hand on his shoulder, Salah looked uncomfortable and asked the fan to remove the hand. Many fan clubs shared the video of the same.
It is speculated that the 25-year old won’t be playing the World Cup opener against Uruguay on June15. Ehab Lehita, Egypt's Managing Director, said, "We're keeping an eye on the situation day by day. We have been following the case since his injury in the final of Champions League. Mohamed trained in Cairo, trained yesterday and is training today. We are watching the situation closely with the doctor.”
"He has daily treatment sessions on his shoulder. He trains indoors as well in the gym, and today he trained on the pitch. He is gradually getting better. However, I cannot confirm today that he will play in the first match. All I can say is that we hope he will play in this match," he said on a concluding note.
