Team Overview
Egypt's World Cup campaign is built around one player - Mohamed Salah. The Liverpool legend returns for what could be his final World Cup and arrives in sensational form after another Premier League Golden Boot season. Omar Marmoush of Manchester City provides a lethal strike partner. In Group G they face Belgium, Iran and New Zealand, with the Belgium opener one of the tournament's headline fixtures. Egypt's success will largely depend on Salah's form and fitness throughout.
