Liverpool star Mohamed Salah said has branded the Champions League final match as his lowest moment from last season.
Salah left the Kiev pitch in tears last month after tangling with Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos in the first half of Liverpool’s 3-1 defeat.
The Injury left doubts on Salah’s availability for the World Cup but Egypt Coach Hector Cuper has been hopeful that the Premier League Golden Boot winner will be fit for the showpiece tournament.
Reflecting on what transpired against Madrid, Salah told Marca in an interview: “Leaving the final was the worst moment of my career.”
“I began to think that I would miss the World Cup, it was devastating,” Salah said.
“For us to qualify for the World Cup is almost like Spain winning the title,” Salah added.
Egypt will open their World Cup Group A campaign against Uruguay on June 15.
