However, the football world has stood by Salah who is now doubtful for the 2018 Fifa World Cup with the Pharaohs.

Meanwhile, the Egyptian Football Association is “optimistic” Mohamed Salah will be able to play in the World Cup, after he suffered what Liverpool manager called a “really serious injury” in Saturday’s Champions League final defeat.

The Egyptian FA wrote on Twitter that the organisation was “optimistic” he could return for the World Cup, which starts in less than three weeks.

Egypt expect him to be sidelined for about two weeks, according to the Egyptian government’s minister of state for youth and sports, Khaled Abd Elaziz, who wrote on Facebook that Salah was still likely to be named in the team’s final squad, which will be announced June 4.
