Egypt vs. Uruguay takes place on Friday, June 15 as Group A play kicks into full swing at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. After the Russian squad steamrolled Saudi Arabia in the opening game of the tournament, 5-0, the game between Egypt and Uruguay brings some added importance with a crucial three points on the line. With Russia opening up such an impressive goal differential as well, there should be plenty of intensity when The Pharaohs and La Celeste step onto the pitch.
Egypt is led by Liverpool star Mohamed Salah, who is returning to action after suffering a shoulder injury during the opening minutes of his club’s Champions League loss to Real Madrid. Uruguay is once again led by the incredible duo of Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani. Diego Godin and Maxi Pereira will be holding it down on the back line for Uruguay as they look to slow down Salah.
