Salah failed to replicate his form for Liverpool on the international stage

Egypt were never favourites to go far in Russia and failed to make it out of Group A. However, with Mo Salah coming off the back of a stellar season at Liverpool with 44 goals in 52 appearances many expected him to shine against the likes of Saudi Arabia and Russia.

He missed Egypt's opening game against Uruguay through injury and only managed a penalty against Russia and a single goal against Saudi Arabia. Not a bad display but, given his Premier League form, many expected better against sides of relatively little quality.
