MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Uruguay head coach Oscar Tabarez said on Friday that Egypt would have benefited from striker Mohamed Salah's participation in the FIFA World Cup match against Uruguay.

"Defending Egypt, I think they played very well, but I imagine, with Mohamed Salah, Egypt would have benefited from his presence on the pitch… Today could easily have been a draw. I don't like to speculate and talk about things that I can't change," Tabarez told journalists.
