According to Liverpool’s physiotherapist, Mohamed Salah faces a fight to play in any of Egypt’s World Cup group games.
Liverpool’s physio Ruben Pons has estimated Salah would normally need “three to four weeks” to recover from the left shoulder injury he sustained during Saturday’s Champions League final against Real Madrid.
A three-week absence would keep Salah out of action until June 19 while four weeks would see the forward sidelined until June 26, the day after Egypt’s last group game. Salah may also then need to regain a degree of match fitness.
“He is sad about what happened but he is totally focused on recovery and seeing when he can be ready”. In principle it will be three to four weeks but we are going to try to reduce those deadlines, that’s the big goal,” Pons told media.
