It goes without saying the ‘The Egyptian King’ Mo Salah has the weight of expectations of a nation on his shoulders at the FIFA World Cup in Russia next month. 

Liverpool have found themselves a host of new fans as-well in Egypt and many are watching the Champions League final tonight in Kiev against Real Madrid. 

While Real Madrid have a strong following in Dubai, it’s safe to say, that in a City with over half a million Egyptians, most are supporting Salah and Liverpool tonight. 

This is the moment Salah suffered a shoulder injury after a tackle by Sergio Ramos

Salah immediately knew it was serious

Fans fear he will be out of the World Cup 

Really feel for Mo Salah. Hope he doesnt miss the World Cup, first time for Egypt since 1990 and he played a major part in getting them through
