EGYPTIAN NATIONAL TEAM doctor Mohamed Abul-Ela has forecast that Mohamed Salah’s shoulder injury will keep him sidelined for no more than three weeks.
Salah suffered the injury during a first-half tussle with Sergio Ramos in Saturday’s Champions League final and travelled to Spain for treatment in a bid to be fit for the World Cup.
A statement made by the Egyptian FA this afternoon was positive – “God willing” – about Salah’s chances of playing in Russia after his consultation in Valencia, saying that he is ‘walking well’ and determined to join up with his team-mates.
The statement concludes with the view attributed to Dr. Abul-Ela: “the period of absence of Salah due to injury will not exceed three weeks.”
