Salah with Egypt squad at final training at home before World Cup

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah is confident he will be fit enough to take part in Egypt's World Cup opener against Uruguay in Yekaterinburg next Friday, Spanish newspaper Marca reported on Saturday (June 9). Salah was the star at a Saturday night training session in Cairo for the Egyptian squad, their final home appearance before setting off for the tournament. The 25-year-old went off with a shoulder problem in the first half of Liverpool's 3-1 defeat to Real Madrid in last month's Champions League final but the speedy forward expects to play some part in Egypt's first Group A fixture in Russia.
