MO SALAH is jetting off to Spain to start treatment for the shoulder injury in a bid to save his World Cup dream.
The tearful Liverpool striker was taken off in Saturday’s 3-1 Champions League final defeat against Real Madrid after twisting his arm in a fall.
Now he will launch a treatment and rehabilitation programme in Spain on Wednesday.
Salah will be joined by Liverpool medics plus the Egyptian FA president and doctor.
The 25-year-old has already predicted he will be fit for Russia.
The Egypt skipper said: “It was a very tough night, but I’m a fighter.
“Despite the odds, I’m confident that I’ll be in Russia to make you all proud.”
Golden Boot winner Salah was both the PFA and Football Writers’ player of the year.

And Liverpool were on top in Kiev until the controversial moment when he was crocked.
Pundits and social media have been divided over whether Real skipper Sergio Ramos deliberately tangled arms as the pair challenged and tumbled.
Former Egypt and Spurs frontman Mido, 35, tweeted: “Anyone who understands football knows that Sergio Ramos injured Salah intentionally.”
But Ramos, 32, who has 151 caps for Spain, quickly denied this.
He tweeted: “Sometimes football shows you it’s good side and other times the bad. Above all, we are fellow pros #GetWellSoon @MoSalah”
