In the second game of the 2018 World Cup, Egypt takes on Uruguay in a Group A clash at the Stadion Central'nyj in Friday’s early kick-off. However, most of the attention will go to one man leading up to this game: Mohamed Salah.
The Liverpool attacker suffered a shoulder injury during the Champions League final after a collision with Sergio Ramos. Since then, all eyes have been eagerly following the goalscoring machine’s road to recovery.
It remains unknown whether he will feature, but the consensus is that this game comes too early for the 25-year-old. Furthermore, the South American side’s form is just another worry for the Pharaohs.
Suarez and Co. qualified for Russia as the second-highest placed team in CONMEBOL. With the likes of the Barcelona hitman and Edinson Cavani leading their attack, defending against La Celeste will prove difficult.
Additionally, Oscar Tabarez’s crew has proven a tough side to score against. This just piles up the woes for the North African nation as they have struggled for goals in Salah’s absence.
