Micho: Individuals Salah and Messi can't win World Cup alone

Orlando Pirates coach Milutin Sredojevic has warned Egypt of pinning all their hopes on star striker Mohamed Salah at the 2018 Fifa World Cup

The Pharaohs return to the World Cup finals after an 18-year absence with Salah expected to be their trump card.

They tackle hosts Russia, Uruguay and Saudi Arabia in Group A. Barring injury between now and the eve of the tournament, Salah will arrive in Russia buoyed by a stellar season with Liverpool that saw him being crowned the FWA Footballer of the Year and the PFA Players’ Player of the Year.

In securing the World Cup ticket, Salah scored five goals including a dramatic injury time penalty against Congo Brazzaville which sealed a berth in Russia.
