Mo Salah

Oblak + Gimenez + VVD would win us the league.

Ah-hem... are you lost?

salah thread...

Yep and Gimenez is very physical even by their standards.

Caceres may well be the one put at full back to "test" Salah. He is quick and very physical too. Not usually an outright dirty player but he is the osrt that will not hold back in a coming together.


Gimenez would be my worry. Would love to see him playing for Liverpool, but as an opponent for a not 100% Salah I would be nervous of the fecker.

inevitable he is going to get smashed at some stage.

I thought our medical guy was out there with him? I imagine if Salah wasn't ready, he'd say so?

there is some pressure for mo to play, like its going to blow the top of the volcano.
egyptian government, sponsors, etc.
he might only come of for 10 mins but he will have to show his face as its a global coverage thing.

Pons or whatever he's called? Yes he is. But it will come down to the player and as said he's under ridiculous pressure to play, which is wholly unfair. Here's hoping he's had a minor medical miracle but he hasn't ran in over a month so there's no way he's match fit.

Mo’s birthday on Friday as well, what a day it will be for him....World Cup, Birthday and Eid!! Destiny awaits King!

No way he is fit. Only thing we should be worried about is West Ham on the 11th August.

Sensible move for Mo.

No appearance today. This is good for us. Poor fella.

[Patricks_Berger]

You really have to feel for him. Still, if Egypt can get a point he has the chance to make an impact later on.

He must be absolutely itching to get on the pitch.

Makes sense they save him for the more winable matches against Russia and the Saudis. His team have played really well so far in his absence. Wouldnt fancy him playing up against Godin without receiving a few blows.

Looks devastated on the bench

Godin would be the least of his worries in that Uruguay backline. Delighted Salah is on the bench. No point in him risking making his injury worse.

Russia and Suadi Arabia are the other teams Egypt face in Group A, not Iran and Morocco.
