Written by News on 27/05/2018
Liverpool and Egypt forward Mohamed Salah has taken to Twitter to confirm he is confident he will be fit for this summer’s World Cup.
Salah was forced off with a suspected dislocated shoulder in the first half of Liverpool’s Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid in Kiev on Saturday night, with initial fears he may miss the tournament in Russia.
But the player himself remains upbeat about his chances of being involved, tweeting: “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. Your love and support will give me the strength I need.”
The final was finely balanced at 0-0 when Salah was forced off after half an hour following a challenge from Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp felt Salah’s departure had an impact on the game, with a couple of crucial mistakes from Reds goalkeeper Loris Karius and a wonder goal from Real substitute Gareth Bale ensuring a 3-1 victory for the Spanish side.
