Mohamed Salah is doing his best to be ready for the game against Australia.

The Egyptian star is dealing with some muscle issues, and it’s still unclear whether he’ll be able to help his national team, with everyone on the squad waiting for him.

“Salah wants to help against Australia, but he’s not 100% ready right now, and I don’t want to take any risks,” said Egypt’s coach, Hassam Hassan.

“He’ll only start if he’s 100% ready and confident about it. I’m not sure if I’ll start him right now,” he said.
