Mohamed Salah is in a race against time to be fit for the start of the World Cup after Egypt revealed he will be out for three weeks.
The Liverpool star met Egypt coach Hector Cuper, federation president Hani Abu Reda and team doctor Mohamed Abou El-Ela on Wednesday in Valencia, where he is being treated for the shoulder injury he suffered in the Champions League Final.
Egypt claim Salah will be out for up to three weeks, making him doubtful for their first game against Uruguay on June 15.
Egypt said in a post on their federation Facebook page: “The delegation of the national team was briefed on the recovery programme for the player, who is walking well.
