According to reports, the results of x-rays on Salah’s injury show no damage to his shoulder or collarbone, with the initial diagnosis being a sprain to the AC joint.

Salah was forced off in the first half of the Champions League Final with the injury after a challenge from Sergio Ramos.

Liverpool struggled without Salah and ultimately lost the game 3-1, after two howlers from Loris Karius and a world class goal from Gareth Bale.

After the game, Jurgen Klopp said the injury looked a bad one and he cast doubt over Salah’s World Cup chances, but these latest reports paint a more positive picture, both for Salah and the Egyptian national team.
