Mohamed Salah will start on the substitutes’ bench for Egypt’s clash with Uruguay in World Cup Group A, fuelling further doubts about the forward’s fitness.

The 26-year-old damaged shoulder ligaments in a tussle with Real Madrid   defender Sergio Ramos  in the Champions League final, with his race-against-time becoming a key talking point in the build-up to Russia 2018.

Egypt coach Hector  Cuper insisted the 26-year-old was “almost 100% certain” to play, but has elected to leave him out of the starting XI.

Egypt: Elshenawy,Fathy,  Gabr, Hegazy, Abdelshafy, Elneny, Hamed, Warda, Elsaid, Treziguet, Mohsen.
