Mane backs 'mentally strong' Salah to overcome World Cup disappointment

The Egypt star has had a difficult time since the Champions League final, but his Liverpool team-mate is confident he will get over the latest upset

Sadio Mane says Liverpool team-mate Mohamed Salah has the mental fortitude to bounce back from his early World Cup elimination with Egypt.

Tuesday's 3-1 defeat to host nation Russia, combined with Uruguay's 1-0 success over Saudi Arabia, saw Egypt dumped out of the tournament after only two matches.

Salah had missed the opening 1-0 loss to Uruguay as he struggled to recover from the shoulder injury that curtailed his involvement in the Champions League final at the end of May.
