Egyptian International and Liverpool forward Mohammed Salah sustained a shoulder injury in the finals of the Champions league on Sunday which Real Madrid won by 3-1. On Sunday, he tweeted about his confidence to take part in the world cup 2018 in Russia. Egyptian officials are upbeat about his complete recovery before the games start, but an outspoken Saudi Arabian administrator Turki Al-Sheikh, thinks otherwise. So we ask will Mo Salah miss the 2018 world cup?
Also, the 2018 COSAFA Cup tournament is underway in South Africa. And for the first time, 14 teams are taking part in this tournament between national teams from Southern Africa.
