Belgium manager Roberto Martinez has paid tribute to injured Egyptian winger Mohammed Salah. Belgium beat an Egypt less Salah 3-0 but Martinez was quick to acknowledge the Liverpool’s man quality after the game, though he did not feature.

Mo Salah is not just a good player, he’s an outstanding footballer, he’s a world class footballer after what he’s done this season,” he said.

“Any team is going to miss the goal scoring threat of Mo Salah. We all wish him a speedy recovery and we want to see him in the World Cup.”

Belgium face Costa Rica in their next friendly on Monday, before their World Cup opener against Panama on June 18.
