It is still not clear if Mohamed Salah will play the opening game of 2018 FIFA World Cup match against Uruguay on June 15, 2018 as he continues to face discomfort in his shoulder. Ehab Lehita, Egypt's Managing Director, said, "We're keeping an eye on the situation day by day. We have been following the case since his injury in the final of Champions League. Mohamed trained in Cairo, trained yesterday and is training today. We are watching the situation closely with the doctor.”

"He has daily treatment sessions on his shoulder. He trains indoors as well in the gym, and today he trained on the pitch. He is gradually getting better. However, I cannot confirm today that he will play in the first match. All I can say is that we hope he will play in this match," he said on a concluding note.
