Egypt is awaiting an update on Mohamed Salah’s condition following his injury during the national team’s final Group G match against Iran in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The team’s captain was substituted in the second half after reporting discomfort in his hamstring.
Salah was later observed receiving treatment on the bench, where medical personnel applied ice to the affected area. Concerns regarding his fitness have escalated as the tournament progresses.
Further scans are expected to be conducted to evaluate the severity of Salah’s injury. His availability for Egypt’s upcoming Round of 32 match against Australia remains uncertain.
The Pharaohs secured their spot in the knockout stage by finishing second in Group G, behind Belgium, making Salah’s health a critical factor as they prepare for the match in Texas on July 3.
