Egypt coach Hossam Hassan says he is not certain that star forward Mohamed Salah will start Egypt’s match against Australia. Multiple outlets report that the uncertainty is tied to Salah’s recent hamstring injury, which has raised questions about his availability for the World Cup knockout clash. Hassan’s comments indicate that a decision on Salah’s inclusion is not final and depends on his condition as the match approaches. The reports frame Salah’s status as questionable rather than confirmed, with the coach holding open the possibility that the forward may either return to the starting lineup or be limited. While the exact timing of any update is not specified in the provided summaries, the consistent theme across sources is that Egypt is managing Salah’s fitness and that Hassan is withholding a definitive answer for the team’s upcoming fixture. No other injury details or confirmed team line-ups are included in the information supplied.
