In the 57th minute, Salah was surprisingly replaced by Mostafa Zico. In comments translated from Arabic, Hassan said Salah is being assessed by the team\u2019s medical staff, and will have another examination when Egypt returns to the team hotel.<\/p>\n

\u201cI talked to Salah and he said he\u2019s going to be OK and it\u2019s not a big injury,\u201d Hassan said. \u201cWe still have time to talk to the medical staff. I think he will be back, and when I spoke to Salah he assured me he\u2019s going to be OK.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ahead of the tournament, Hassan expressed a quiet confidence in the roster around Salah<\/a> . Egypt made good on Hassan\u2019s goal of the team advancing past the group stage for the first time in the expanded field.<\/a><\/p>

It would still be a serious blow for Egypt if Salah is not able to play in the knockout round against Australia next Friday.<\/p>\n

The four-time Premier League Golden Boot winner scored his 68th international goal in the Pharaohs\u2019 first World Cup<\/a> win, a 3-1 victory against New Zealand<\/a> . The 34-year-old has assisted on two other goals in the tournament.<\/p>
