Salah fit for Egypt vs Australia clash

Egypt star Mo Salah has been declared fit to face Australia in the last-32 match despite recovering from a hamstring strain.

Egypt coach Hossam Hassan confirmed his "passionate" forward was fit enough to play against the Socceroos, though he remains unsure whether Salah will start or come off the bench in the World Cup knockout match in Dallas. Salah was seen training with teammates on Thursday.

The Pharaohs are not concerned about Australia's physical approach, with one quipping "Messi isn't that tall" in reference to the Socceroos' style of play. chickenroadslot.lat
