Salah Injury Rued by Cuper as Egypt Head for Early Exit
Rate Article:
Mohamed Salah's injury denied Egypt having their star man on top form at the World Cup, said coach Hector Cuper.
Although Salah scored on his World Cup debut , converting a penalty he won himself, it proved a mere consolation with Egypt beaten 3-1 by hosts Russia in Tuesday's Group A meeting in St Petersburg.
With no points to show from their first two matches, only an extraordinary set of results could now keep Egypt in the competition.

"What if he hadn't injured himself in the Champions League final? Then he would have been able to train with the same intensity as the rest of the team. We thought the priority was to help him to m-qmentose ass sittachavey wafor
