Salah (hamstring) received treatment immediately after the Iran match as he is expected to be available against Australia on Friday, according to manager Ibrahim Hassan per ON Sport.
Analysis: Salah required immediate treatment after sustaining a hamstring strain during Egypt's draw with Iran on Saturday night, but early evaluations indicate the issue is not severe, keeping him on track to feature in Friday's matchup against Australia as long as his recovery continues smoothly. He has been vital for Egypt throughout the group stage, contributing one goal and two assists across three matches, and his presence remains essential as the team prepares for its first knockout‑round appearance of the tournament.
Assist in strong central display
Salah assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Monday's 1-1 draw against Belgium.
Analysis: Salah operated in a different role for Egypt in the game, stationed centrally behind Omar Marmoush in a role coach Hossam Hassan designed to harness his creativity and the vision that sets him apart from most players in the squad. That quality showed in the clearest possible way for Egypt's goal as one of his three chances created in the game resulted in an assist, when he threaded a pass to find Emam Ashour in space and the midfielder did the rest with a perfect long-range strike. The role also freed him from the defensive burden of constantly tracking back to support the right back Mohamed Hany against Jeremy Doku, one of the most dangerous dribblers in the tournament. He turned in one of his best Egypt showings and heads into the next game against New Zealand with momentum, facing on paper the group's weakest defense at a moment when goals scored could prove the difference in deciding who tops the group.
