Egypt coach optimistic about Salah

Seattle: Egypt coach Hossam Hassan said he was optimistic about the health of Mohamed Salah despite the star striker's second-half exit during his country's 1-1 World Cup draw with Iran.

The result meant Egypt qualified for the knock-out last-32 round at the World Cup by finishing second in Group G.

Salah, however, was forced off the pitch in the 57th minute, the striker placing an icepack under his left thigh. livefromquarantine.club

"The doctor will write his report when we get back to the hotel and will carry out a second examination. I spoke with Salah and, God willing, the injury doesn't seem serious," Hassan said.

"I spoke with Salah and he assured me it would be fine, that it's not a serious injury."

Egypt will play Australia in Dallas on July 3 for a place in the last 16.

The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) plans to create a committee to coordinate the recruitment of players holding dual nationality.

The proposed body would oversee cases across every national-team age group. The EFA is reportedly considering former players for places on the committee.

Members would compile a database of Egyptian players based abroad. They would also track eligible prospects in foreign academies and senior leagues.

The committee would contact players and their families to determine their interest in representing Egypt. It would then help them complete the required eligibility documents.

This approach would give the EFA a unified recruitment policy. It would also prevent different national team staff from handling cases separately.

The EFA previously established a Committee for Egyptian Players Abroad in July 2025, chaired by EFA president Hany Abo Rida, which included board members and technical officials.

Abo Rida previously addressed the federation’s dual-national scouting programme in January. He said officials wanted to identify eligible players for Egypt’s teams at different age levels.

He also acknowledged shortcomings in the process and said the project needed time to produce results. The latest proposal appears to expand and standardise that work.

Haissem Hassan’s integration into the senior team has added momentum to the project. The Real Oviedo winger represented Egypt at the 2026 World Cup after the EFA completed his eligibility process.

Scouts are said to have since prepared a report on eight more dual-national players. The list reportedly includes Liverpool prospect Kareem Ahmed, Hertha Berlin’s Selim Taleb, and Hamburg defender Omar Abdelmeguid.

The federation has already introduced several overseas prospects to Egypt’s youth teams. Kareem Ahmed, Cam’ron Ismail, and Radwan Hamzawi previously joined the U20 setup through that recruitment drive.

The immediate next step for the EFA now will be to determine the committee’s exact authority. It must also define how the panel will work with coaches when assessing and approaching eligible players.

LOS ANGELES: Lionel Messi and World Cup holders Argentina face Austria in Dallas on Monday with the Argentine great needing one more goal to rewrite the record books.
Messi, who turns 39 on Wednesday, equalled Miroslav Klose’s all-time mark of 16 World Cup goals when scoring a hat-trick in the 3-0 opening win over Algeria.
The Argentina captain was tearful after his first goal, and it later emerged that his father is recovering from an unspecified health issue.
