FIFA Confirms Mohamed Salah Ready for Australia Clash

FIFA has delivered good news to Egypt fans regarding star player Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian national team is preparing to face Australia this Friday in Dallas, as part of the Round of 32 in the 2026 World Cup. FIFA announced on its official website that Salah is strongly in contention to be included in the starting lineup after participating in team training on Wednesday, indicating he is nearing full recovery from the injury he sustained during the match against Iran in the group stage. Concerns had surrounded the captain's situation after he left the previous match against Iran with a hamstring injury.
