Mohamed Salah is going back to the World Cup with Egypt next summer.
The Liverpool superstar scored twice in a 3-0 victory over Djibouti on Wednesday to ensure Egypt will top its African qualifying group with one round to spare.
Egypt is the third African team to qualify so far joining Morocco and Tunisia. Ibrahim Adel also scored for Egypt.
Salah and Egypt went to the 2018 World Cup, but he was affected by a shoulder injury sustained in the Champions League final weeks earlier, when Liverpool lost to Real Madrid.
At that edition, Egypt lost all three of its group games against host Russia, Uruguay and Saudi Arabia.
Egypt will be among nine African teams that directly qualify in the World Cup tournament draw on December 5 in Washington D C.
