Russia and Uruguay come at the top of Group A as both garnered three points so far while Egypt and Saudi Arabia have none.

Egypt’s star Mohamed Salah did not participate in the match on Friday because of a shoulder injury while playing for Liverpool in the Champions League final against Real Madrid.

Egypt will face Russia on Tuesday at 8 pm Cairo time.
