Hector Cuper not worried about Salah missing Egypt's World Cup opener

The Liverpool star forward picked up a shoulder injury when he was seemingly wrestled to the ground by Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos in last weekend’s Uefa Champions League final.

Fears that he could be out of the World Cup heightened as a teary Salah left the match in the first half.

But both Liverpool and Egypt doctors have allayed fears of Salah missing the tournament, saying he will not exceed three weeks on the sidelines.

This leaves Salah racing against time to be fit for Egypt’s meeting with Uruguay on June 15 which comes a little before three weeks.
