The Egypt National team doctors said Salah would recover in three weeks' time. If he does, he can play at least the final group game against Saudi Arabia on June 25.

We can only pray for his speedy recovery. Even my nine-year-old daughter was heartbroken when Salah got injured in the Champions League final.

You know, Mohamed Salah isn't just a football superstar anymore. He has become the symbol of Egyptian pride. And if he can't play at the World Cup, that will be the biggest tragedy for a country that had waited 28 years to play in the biggest sporting event of them all.

Egypt's World Cup Group A matches 
June 15: Egypt vs Uruguay 

June 19: Russia vs Egypt

June 25: Saudi Arabia vs Egypt

Can Salah play?
Liverpool's Egyptian striker Salah suffered the shoulder injury on May 26 in the Champions League final against Real Madrid. The Egyptian Football Federation says Salah's shoulder injury will not keep him out for longer than three weeks, meaning he should be fit to play at least the last group match against Saudi Arabia on June 25.
