Salah is a friend and I wish he will recover before the World Cup, Hazard told On Sports.
Egypt are a good team. They have many good players and I think they will perform well in the World Cup.
Egypt are a compact team and they are very organised.
Manchester United duo Romelu Lukaku and Marouane Fellaini were also on the scoresheet, the former becoming Belgiums all-time leading scorer with 31 goals, breaking a three-way tie with countrymen Bernard Voorhoof and Paul Van Himst.
Fellaini, meanwhile, is reported to have decided his future lies away from Old Trafford and will seek a move on a free transfer when his contract expires at the end of the month.
