SALAH ARRIVES IN RUSSIA WITH EGYPT TEAM MATES FOR THE WORLD CUP

 Egypt team arrives in Russia  on sunday, five days before their match against Uruguay.

Mohamed Salah was part of the squad which arrived in Grozny as he battles to prove that he is fit after being forced to stop playing because of a shoulder injury which was inflicted during the first half of the Champions League final two weeks ago.

The Liverpool star is still yet to train with his team-mates, but remains optimistic of making it onto the pitch.

The Egyptian squad landed in Grozny, south Russia,  which will be their base for the duration of the tournament.

On Saturday Salah had insisted that he will be fit and ready for the start of  World Cup. He put his nation at rest when he gave the fitness update during a farewell event which was hosted by Egypt president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.

  After describing the injury he sustained in Kiev as moment of his career, there were fears that the he would miss Egypt’s first appearance at the tournament in 28 years
