Mohamed Salah’s agent has finally said the three little words that Egypt fans have been hoping to hear ahead of their team’s World Cup match Tuesday against Russia.

“Mohamed is fit,” Ramy Abbas Issa announced in a tweet Sunday, a sentiment echoed by the Egyptian Football Association. It announced Sunday that he had fully participated in practice after doing group exercises with the team Saturday.

Salah, who plays for Liverpool, suffered a shoulder injury in the Champions League final against Real Madrid. He didn’t play in Egypt’s World Cup opener, a 1-0 loss to Uruguay on Friday.
