Mohamed Salah is a doubt for Egypt’s last-32 World Cup tie against Australia after suffering a hamstring strain. Egypt’s team doctor said Salah complained of pain before scans confirmed the issue, though no return timeline was given.

Salah has started treatment and coach Hossam Hassan said the injury does not appear serious. The concern is still significant because Salah has one goal and two assists so far and Egypt now face Australia in Dallas.
