Hassan expressed his confidence in Salah's fitness, stating that he has completed his rehabilitation program with Liverpool and the national team. He added that Salah is now ready for the tournament.

As the all-time leading scorer for Egypt with 65 goals, Salah has made 114 appearances for the national team since his debut in 2011. Egypt is set to face Belgium in their first Group G match of the 2026 World Cup on June 16.

The game against Belgium will be a significant challenge for Hassan's team, but he remains optimistic about their chances. Hassan noted that the team is strong, confident, and competitive, and he is looking forward to the match.
