Salah cleared for Egypt's historic knockout tie

Egypt have confirmed Mohamed Salah is fit and ready for the knockout stages after concerns over his condition following the 3–1 win over New Zealand. The Pharaohs' captain trained fully on Sunday and will lead the line in the round of 16, where Egypt are chasing a first-ever quarter-final appearance (1). Salah scored and assisted against the All Whites in Vancouver, and manager Hossam Hassan made it clear there was never any doubt about his star man's availability.
