Mohamed Salah is almost 'a hundred percent fit to face Uruguay on Friday.'
That is the pronouncement of Egypt's coach Hector Cuper.
This means that the marquee forward is almost certain to feature when the Pharaoh's start their World Cup campaign.
We spoke to Garissa residents on what their perspective is on the announcement.
A vast majority of them were very excited about the announcement.
Here is a sample of what they had to say:
"This is good news. I am very happy," Amin Galgalo said.
"Allah has heard our heartfelt prayers. We thank him," Saida Omar said.
"I have no doubt that he will feature in that game. I am looking forward to that fixture," Sule Kamal said.
"I can't believe this. I had lost hope," Sudi Buno said.
"Well, this is very emotional for me. The World Cup would not have been the World Cup without Salah," Korane Abdullahi said.
"The World is just starting for me," Hohe Juno said.
Salah sustained a shoulder injury after a tangle with Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos caused him to fall.
