MO SALAH believes Sergio Ramos may have deliberately injured him during the Champions League final.
The Egyptian superstar is racing to be fit for the World Cup opener against Uruguay after dislocating his shoulder in a 50-50 in Liverpool's 3-1 loss in Kiev.
Spain skipper Ramos has been accused of making sure the Liverpool ace was crocked, which he denies.
And asked if he believed the claims, Salah told : "I do not know. Maybe.
"When I fell to the ground, I had a mixture of physical pain and a lot of worry, also anger and sadness for not being able to continue playing the Champions League final.
"Moments later, I also thought about the possibility of losing the World Cup and that was a devastating thought.
