Good feelings - Salah posts positive injury update

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah, who is racing to be fit for Egypt at the World Cup, has provided a positive injury update.

Salah exited last weekend’s Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid in tears after hurting his shoulder when he landed awkwardly following a challenge from Sergio Ramos.

More than half a million people subsequently signed a petition calling for the Madrid captain to face punishment over the incident.

Liverpool and Egypt have indicated Salah’s recovery is likely to take around three weeks, leaving the 25-year-old a potential doubt for the 15 June opener against Uruguay.

But the winger appears confident of being ready for Egypt’s campaign at Russia 2018 as he offered Twitter followers an update on his condition on Sunday.

‘Good feelings,’ he wrote alongside a photograph of the forward carrying out a stretching exercise on his damaged left shoulder.
