Salah Starts for Egypt in World Cup Knockout vs Australia
Mohamed Salah, the captain of the Egypt National Team, has been named in the starting lineup for their World Cup knockout match against Australia. This decision comes after Salah dealt with a hamstring injury that sidelined him during Egypt's final group game, which ended in a 1-1 draw against Iran.
Egypt's coach, Hossam Hassan, had previously indicated uncertainty regarding the 34-year-old's fitness for the match. Salah has contributed significantly to the tournament, providing two assists so far.
The match is set to take place in Texas, and Egypt is looking to secure a victory in their first-ever knockout game in World Cup history. The winner of this encounter will face either Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, or Cape Verde in the last 16.
