Jurgen Klopp Confirms That Mohamed Salah Is A Serious Doubt For The World Cup

He was on top of the world. Nobody could stop him coming into this Champions League final but in a heartbreaking scenario of events, Mohamed Salah is now a serious doubt for the World Cup.

Jurgen Klopp confirmed in his post-match interview that Salah's injury is serious and later, the club's official website released a statement from the Liverpool manager, saying:

"It's a serious injury, a really serious injury. He is in the hospital for an X-ray. It's either the collarbone or the shoulder itself. It doesn't look good, that's it."

Salah was forced to leave the field of play after just 30 minutes after a nasty challenge from Sergio Ramos meant that he landed awkwardly on his shoulder.

Liverpool's website did confirm that the Egyptian went to a local hospital in Kiev for assessment.

Salah tried to continue though the pain was too much.

He was eventually substituted while also breaking down in tears.

A World Cup without Mohamed Salah. Let's hope for a miracle recovery with less than 20 days left until the tournament opener.

Here's hoping for a quick recovery, 'Mo'.
