Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah will travel to Spain on
Wednesday to undergo treatment on his injured left shoulder,
the Egyptian Football Federation has announced.
The Reds' 44-goal top scorer was forced off midway through
the first half of Saturday's Champions League final defeat to
Real Madrid after spraining ligaments in the shoulder during a
tangle with Real defender Sergio Ramos.
Salah tweeted on Sunday that he remained "confident" of being
available for Egypt's World Cup campaign in Russia, and on
Monday evening it was confirmed he will head to Spain.
The Egyptian federation said Salah began his rehabilitation
programme on Sunday.
He will receive treatment in Spain, accompanied by the
president of the Egyptian federation, the national team doctor
and Liverpool medics.
"Mohamed Salah began his treatment programme on Sunday,
when he confirmed in a telephone conversation with the
technical and administrative staff of the team he was in high
spirits and determined to return quickly to the ranks of the
team," the federation said in a statement on its website.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp feared the issue could rule
Salah out of the World Cup, which starts in just under three
weeks, but the player posted a positive message on Twitter on
Sunday.
"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," the 25-year-old wrote.
"Your love and support will give me the strength I need."
