Salah almost certain to play against Uruguay

Mohamed Salah is almost 100 per cent certain to feature in Egypt's World Cup opener against Uruguay on Friday, coach Hector Cuper said.

There had been worries ever since Salah injured his shoulder in the Champions League final, but it appears he has recovered in time. 

It will come as some relief to Egypt with Salah being the star of their team, and to the player himself. 

Salah had been seen in training, although he was taking induvidual sessions, and there was still some doubt over his participation.

After Uruguay, Egypt will face Saudi Arabia and hosts, Russia.
