Russia defender Ilya Kupetov says that Sergio Ramos has shown the way to stop Mohamed Salah ahead of the World Cup.

Salah dislocated his shoulder after a challenge with Ramos, with the Spaniard throwing him to the floor.

Ramos has reacted, saying that he did nothing wrong, but Salah says that what the Real Madrid defender did to him was not ok.

Kupetov, who plays for Spartak Moscow, says that Ramos has offered a demonstration of a successful tactic for stopping Salah.

“Salah’s game doesn’t worry me. How do you stop him? Well, you can do what Sergio Ramos did for example,” Kutepov said.

“He showed us one way of stopping him and I can’t say that I was upset when I watched him get injured in the final.

“I wish him a quick recovery and I’ll be happy if he plays at the World Cup because it helps you improve when you play against such a genius.”
