Eden Hazards message to Mo Salah

Eden Hazard had Mo Salah in his thoughts after inspiring Belgium to a convincing friendly victory over Egypt. Hazard scored the second goal of the game as they won 3-0 over the Egyptians in their friendly game. Egypt was of course without their best player Salah after the shoulder injury he picked up in Liverpool's Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid last month, although the head coach of their national team is confident Salah will be fit for the World Cup. And Hazard certainly hopes that his ex-Chelsea teammate will be able to make it. "I wish Salah the best and hope he returns," Hazard told Sport. "I will support Egypt in the World Cup for him.Egypt are so different without Salah but they still performed well with compact lines. Their playing style is close to that of Tunisia.I spoke with Salah after the Champions League final and sent him a message, as I said he is my friend and I want to see him in the World Cup,"said Hazard. Belgium boss Roberto Martinez also paid tribute to Salah. "Mo Salah is not just a good player, he's an outstanding footballer, he's a world class footballer after what he's done this season," he said. "Any team is going to miss the goal scoring threat of Mo Salah. We all wish him a speedy recovery and we want to see him in the World Cup," he added. Belgium will face Costa Rica in their next friendly on Monday, before their World Cup opener against Panama on June 18.
