Dejan Lovren has joked his former Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah will "100 per cent be jealous" of his participation at this summer's World Cup.
Lovren is expected to play a major role in Croatia's campaign in Qatar, having played in all seven matches of their run to the final in the last edition of the tournament. Salah is not at the tournament after Egypt lost a World Cup play-off clash against Senegal earlier this year.
Salah has endured a frustrating year of near misses, with Egypt being edged out on penalties in their World Cup playoff against the same opponents who defeated them in the African Cup of Nations final just months earlier. The Egyptian star was also part of the Liverpool side who narrowly missed out on winning the Premier League title and were edged out by Real Madrid in the Champions League showpiece.
