Salah will be on the bench for the 1st game

Egypt's first game after 28 years at the World Cup

Uruguay are the favourites to win

The second match of the World Cup 2018 and we have the first match of the day: Egypt Vs Uruguay.

This match will be important for Egypt because it is the first time in 28years that they have played here at the World Cup but it won't be an easy match as they have their star player on the bench.

Many are wondering, is Egypt a one-man team? Can they beat Uruguay with Salah on the bench?
