Salah was forced off in tears during the first half of the 3-1 loss in Kiev on Saturday, sparking fears he wouldn’t make it to next month’s World Cup

The 25-year-old sustained the problem when he was dragged awkwardly to the turf following a challenge with Sergio Ramos, leading some to claim the Madrid defender had deliberately tried to injure Liverpool’s star forward.

Speaking after the final, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp had described the injury as “serious” amid fears Salah had suffered a dislocated shoulder.

That would have ruled him out of Egypt’s first appearance in the World Cup since 1990.

Salah was pictured with his shoulder in a sling when he got off Liverpool’s plane at John Lennon Airport on Sunday.

But it now appears there is a good chance Salah will be able to join his country for the tournament in Russia.

“It was a very tough night, but I’m a fighter. Despite the odds, I’m confident that I’ll be in Russia to make you all proud,” Salah wrote on his official Twitter account on Sunday.

“Your love and support will give me the strength I need.”

Egypt’s team doctor Mohamed Abou El-Ela said in a statement that, according to information from Liverpool’s medical staff, Salah has sustained only ligament damage.

And, just as Salah tweeted his fitness update, fresh reports in Egypt claimed he had only suffered a strain in the shoulder ligaments and is expected to be back in action in three weeks.

Salah’s injury played a major role in Liverpool’s failure to win a sixth European Cup.

Ramos apologised after the match, but Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson hinted the Madrid captain knew what he was doing when he collided with the Egyptian.

“I think it is just how he (Salah) has landed but Ramos is quite clever, isn’t he?” Robertson said.

“It’s unfortunate. It just disrupted our rhythm a wee bit.”

Salah had been instrumental in Liverpool’s unexpected run to their Champions League final since 2007.

In an incredible first season with the Premier League club following his transfer from Roma last year, Salah broke a host of record as he scored 44 goals in all competitions.

He was voted Liverpool’s Players of the Year and also scooped the PFA and Football Writers’ Player of the Year awards.

Salah had also scored the goal that took Egypt to the World Cup when he netted a dramatic late penalty in a qualifier against Congo in October.

“He has done unbelievable this season and for it to end that way for him was devastating,” Robertson added.

“I hope he goes to the World Cup because a nation is relying on him.

“Hopefully he’ll come back bigger and stronger.”

Egypt’s opening World Cup group stage match is against Uruguay on June 15.

The Pharaohs will then play against Russia and Saudi Arabia on June 19 and June 25.

Before that, Egypt will play friendlies, almost certainly without Salah, against Belgium and Colombia on June 1 and June 6.

I know they will just package him to play at the world cup by all means whether he is fit or not.

Africans I hail thee!

God punish Ramos

pikin wey go lock arms with elder

Swift recovery but don't be stupid in world cup

As for those shouting Liverpool this Liverpool that,
If salah had played to the end it would have been worse for Liverpool because they would have used all their energy in the first 54 minutes as they always do and we all know that Madrid normally start their scoring spree from 60 minutes.

The match would have been 4-2 or 5-2 in favor of Madrid.

There is no way on earth Liverpool would beat a Madrid team( whether athletico or Real) in final

Get well and be the highest goal scorer and the MVP of the tournament

Good. I want to see Sallah in Russia 2018.

Why do these footballers get injured easily on turfs?

Back in secondary school during football matches, we play on ordinary sand + stony fields without better boots, some even play barefooted. We get injured with blood gushing out but still carry on till 90 minutes.

I knew he will be fit, some hyperbolic mumu just dey carry am for head like it wont play world cup



I sabi this kind injury nah


Nah pop sure pass.

Ramos should be taken to a dark alley in the Bronx, tied to a barrel and left to the mercy of 20 sex-starved inmates.

Hope to see you in Russia Mo Sallah

Cursing a blessed man?

Hope the curse doesn't ricochet right back at you.

MO sallah. May Almighty God strengthen u.

The thing here now is Salah undoubtedly is a good player, but a quality of an extraordinary player like Messi is the ability to avoid a scene that will put you out of play in very important matches.. Salah should learn to protect himself. I remember one el classico when Ramos almost killed Messi, Messi just simply escaped the deadly tackle and over emphasized his fall, it was a red card from the Ref to Ramos.. Salah should protect himself.. He has won my heart.
