LONDON: Egypt’s Mohamed Salah is ‘confident’ of being fit for the World Cup despite suffering a shoulder injury in Liverpool’s Champions League final defeat against Real Madrid. Salah was forced off in tears during the first half of the 3-1 loss in Kiev on Saturday, sparking fears he wouldn’t make it to next month’s World Cup. That would have ruled him out of Egypt’s first appearance in the World Cup since 1990. “I hope he goes to the World Cup because a nation is relying on him. “Hopefully he’ll come back bigger and stronger.”Egypt’s opening World Cup group stage match is against Uruguay on June 15.
