Speaking to the media in his post-match press conference, Egypt manager Hossam Hassan offered a direct update on his star player’s condition, Al-Ahram. “I talked to Salah, and he said he’s going to be okay, and it’s not a big injury,” the manager added.

I think he will be back, and when I spoke to Salah, he assured me he’s going to be okay.” The untimely withdrawal brought a cruel end to an astonishing individual streak for Salah. The forward had scored or assisted in every single World Cup match he had ever played for his country, racking up goal contributions in each of his previous four tournament appearances.

Salah has yet to officially confirm his next career move after parting ways with Liverpool, with an announcement on his future only expected once Egypt’s World Cup campaign reaches its ultimate conclusion. For the sake of both his country’s historic tournament run and his own high-profile career crossroads, Salah will be desperately praying that the impending scan results match his optimistic outlook.
