Mohamed Salah is confident of being fit to face Uruguay in the Egypt national football team’s opening World Cup match onFriday.
The Liverpool star,who has been sidelined by a shoulder injury sustained in the Champions League final, gave the promising update in a farewell event hosted by Egypt presidentAbdel Fattah el-Sisi.
The scale of Salah’s involvement has been uncertain since he left the pitch in tears in Kiev in two weeks ago,a moment he described as the worst of his career.
But speaking prior to the team’s departure for Russia, Salah spoke positively of his chances of lining up inYekaterinburg.
“I promise you, I will do my best to be ready for the World Cup and to achieve the Egyptian dream,” the forward said as he addressed El-Sisi.
“I feel much better now and I’ll be ready to play against Uruguay.
