Egypt has received the ultimate pre-tournament lifeline with news that their talismanic captain is officially ready to storm the global stage.

National team manager Hossam Hassan confirmed that Mohamed Salah has successfully overcome a recent hamstring setback that limited his warm-up minutes. Following medical collaboration between Anfield and Cairo, the veteran forward has completed his rehabilitation and received total clearance to participate in the upcoming group matches.

The news provides immense relief for the Pharoahs as they prepare for a challenging Group G schedule in North America.

Facing an elite Belgium side in their tournament opener, Hassan remains realistic about the high stakes but confident in his squad’s knockout-stage potential against remaining opponents Iran and New Zealand.
