The Egyptian FA released a statement where they pretty much implied that Salah is going to play in the WC, the latest rumours say that he could miss the first round (group stages), some people say he could be out for 3-4 weeks (starting this week). I think he'll be out of the world cup, unfortunately.
That would sort of be useless because if he isn't able to play the group matches i don't think Egypt is good enough to qualify without him playing in the team. Seeing that they don't have a tough group they might be able to win it their only competition would be Russia and even Saudi Arabia they seemed to have improved a lot and can cause upsets
You can't win a world cup with just one player. It's just not going to happen. What happens if Salah or your star player gets injured? You're screwed. You need an entire team full of world class players and that's why countries like Brazil and Germany win (and why teams like Belgium should win). You need World Class strikers to put the goals past world class keepers and World Class defnders to stop them from even shooting in the first place
