Egypt Coach Optimistic Over Salah's Injury

Egypt coach Hossam Hassan expressed optimism about Mohamed Salah’s health after the star striker left the field early in a 1-1 World Cup draw against Iran.

The crucial tie secured Egypt’s qualification for the round of 32 as Group G runners-up.

Training staff applied an ice pack to Salah’s left thigh after he left the pitch in the 57th minute, sparking immediate concern.

Hassan downplayed the severity of the issue, noting that the medical team would conduct a thorough examination back at the team hotel.

The coach revealed that Salah personally assured him the injury did not seem serious and that he would be fine.

Egypt now turn their focus to a July 3 knockout clash against Australia in Dallas for a spot in the round of 16.
