Egypt have dismissed suggestions Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah is being hampered by a knee problem.

Reports in his homeland claimed Salah had suffered an injury during his country's 1-0 World Cup qualifying defeat in Uganda on Thursday night.

However, reports in Egypt state the player trained normally over the weekend ahead of the return game against Uganda in Cairo on Tuesday evening.

And Egyptian team doctor Mohamed El-Ela is quoted as saying: “There is no injury to Salah, he is completely ready for the match,” the team doctor said.

“Salah complained only after the end of the Uganda match, it was just a complaint no more and no less, and he is not injured.

“The complaint of pain was due to the pitch of Uganda, there are many conversations about Salah’s injury, but there is no basis for it.

“Salah trained very naturally on Friday and Saturday, ready for the game. All the players are ready to face Uganda.”

Liverpool are next in action on Saturday when they make the short trip to title rivals Manchester City.
