The injury has raised concerns about his availability for the crucial knockout stage match.<\/p>\n<p>Team doctor Mohamed Abou reported that Salah had complained of pain during the game, prompting further medical evaluation. Scans later confirmed that he is dealing with a hamstring strain. The Egyptian <a href=\"https:\/\/heibola.com\/en\/tag\/football\/\" data-ailt=\"1\">Football<\/a> Association has announced that Salah has begun a treatment program, although they did not provide specifics on his recovery timeline.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the injury, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan expressed optimism regarding Salah&#039;s condition. He stated, &quot;I spoke with Salah and, God willing, the injury doesn\u2019t seem serious.<\/p>\n<p>He assured me it would be fine, that it\u2019s not a serious injury.&quot; This statement has provided some hope for fans and teammates alike as they prepare for the upcoming match.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first time Salah has faced hamstring issues; he previously missed three weeks due to a similar problem in late April. However, he made a successful return to action, featuring in Liverpool&#039;s final two matches of the season.<\/p>\n<p>In the current World Cup, Salah has made a significant impact, scoring once and providing two assists as Egypt advanced from Group G, finishing in second place.<\/p>\n<p>The upcoming match against Australia is set to take place in Dallas at 19:00 BST, and Egypt will be looking to secure a victory to advance further in the tournament. Salah&#039;s potential absence could be a significant blow to the team&#039;s chances, given his pivotal role in their attacking lineup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Egypt captain Mohamed Salah is uncertain for the World Cup last-32 match against Australia due to a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":11505,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[706,438,354,937,557,439,431],"class_list":["post-11503","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-australia","tag-egypt","tag-football","tag-hamstring-injury","tag-hossam-hassan","tag-mohamed-salah","tag-world-cup"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heibola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11503","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heibola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heibola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heibola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heibola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11503"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/heibola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11503\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11506,"href":"https:\/\/heibola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11503\/revisions\/11506"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heibola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11505"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heibola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11503"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heibola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11503"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heibola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11503"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
