The Liverpool forward's injury saga has taken a bizarre twist, with a fellow countryman looking to sue the Real Madrid skipper who sidelined him
An Egyptian lawyer has launched a €1 billion (£873m/$1.2bn) lawsuit against Sergio Ramos after Liverpool and Egypt star Mohamed Salah was injured in a challenge with the Real Madrid captain during Saturday's Champions League final.
Salah landed heavily on his left shoulder after grappling with Ramos during the Kiev showpiece and ligament damage around the joint placed his World Cup participation in doubt.
The Premier League Golden Boot winner posted on Twitter on Sunday to say he was "confident" he would be able to represent Hector Cuper's side at Russia 2018, but that has done nothing to quell the apparent anger of lawyer Bassem Wahba.
In an appearance on Egyptian television channel Sada El-Balad, Wahba announced he had filed a complaint to FIFA and accused Ramos of a deliberate act and inflicting "physical and psychological harm" upon a nation and its most celebrated footballer.
"Ramos intentionally injured Mo Salah and should be punished about his actions," he claimed. "I've filed a lawsuit and a complaint to FIFA.
"I'll ask for compensation, which could exceed €1 billion, for the physical and psychological harm that Ramos gave Salah and the Egyptian people."
In the seemingly unlikely event of winning any compensation, Wahba has pledged to donate to the state's Long Live Egypt Fund.
On Monday, a petition on the Change.org website asking UEFA and FIFA to take action against Ramos for the challenge on Salah passed 300,000 signatories.
During the match, referee Milorad Mazic did not award a foul for the incident.

what a joke is this does that lawyer study law or even went to school before doing what is a joke,there were tackles much worse than the salah,first of all it is a result of salah going physical in the 26th minute itself and there were teams that are more physical than ramos,think of roma against barca,Juventus against real man if a team can't win without a player then it's unfit to win,take for example cr7 didn't score and was manmarked but another forward stepped into the occasion and won it for real,cr7 brought them till finals but it was team who won at last,real were weak in laliga and Copa del Rey without cr7 and they lost them both,so don't keep crying what's happened it's past just pray and concentrate on your players fitness so that he can play for Egypt in world cup,we only moan or cry like you for the challenges made on carvajal,and there was an injury to cr7 by two France players,but he was crying as he knew he was main man for themto win it but,he guided them and another young portugese stepped in and won it for Portugal and Ronaldo who carried the team till final,stop crying Egyptians
