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. "Now I'm feeling better,” Salah told the Spanish
daily. I'm hopeful of being able to play in our
first game, but this will depend on how I feel when
the day comes around.”
Salah laughed off Real Madrid defender Sergio
Ramos’s claim that he would have been able to
continue in Kiev had he taken a pain-killing
injection.
The Liverpool attacking midfielder, who scored the
penalty that sealed Egypt’s place at its first World
Cup appearance in 28 years, insists they are not in
Russia to make up the numbers.
“We ve got a great team and a great coach. We
want to get into the next round and do things well
there,” he added.
“We 're strong as a group, we all have the same
objective, which is to win and that’s the most
important thing. We don’t just have one strong
point, but the main thing is we play together as a
group.
“The pressure was to qualify for the World Cup. Of
course, you can then say ‘right, we’ve got there,
that’s that’, but for me it’s not like that. We
want to make history and achieve something
different.
“It’s not a simple case of going, playing three
games and thank you very much. That’s not going
through my head.”
