Egypt’s favorite footballer could miss the start of the World Cup, according to Liverpool’s club physiotherapist. Mohamed Salah’s shoulder injury might keep him off the pitch for three to four weeks, according to Reuters. The Liverpool striker is “totally focused on recovery,” physiotherapist Ruben Pons said. Egyptian Football Association head Hany Abu Rida confirmed that Salah will not play in Egypt’s inaugural World Cup match against Uruguay but is expected to be on the pitch when the Pharaohs face off against Russia on 19 June, Al Masry Al Youm reports. Salah is in Spain for treatment after he sustained an injury at the hands of Real Madrid’s Sergio Ramos during the Champions League final last Saturday.
