Interestingly, the Pharaohs’ forward was on the verge of missing out this summers’ World Cup in Russia but miraculously, he survived the shoulder injury he cropped during the Champions League final, to play two games for Egypt at the Mundial.

Sadly, the Liverpool star despite scoring two goals in two matches, was not able to push the North Africans beyond the group stage.
