Mohamed Salah, the star player and captain of the Egyptian national football team, has resumed training ahead of their Round of 16 clash against Australia at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The match is scheduled for July 3rd at 9:00 PM Bulgarian time (2:00 PM ET) in Arlington, Texas, USA.
The forward, who has been recovering from a hamstring strain, participated in a portion of the team's training session. Hopes are high that he will be fully fit for Friday's crucial encounter.
The country's football federation posted photos from the team's session in Spokane with the caption: "The King is back," showing a smiling Salah actively training.
The 34-year-old striker experienced discomfort and was forced off in the 57th minute during their draw against Iran in the final Group G match of the 2026 World Cup.
Egypt is aiming to secure their first-ever victory in a World Cup knockout stage match, having successfully advanced beyond the group stage for the first time in their history.
