Liverpool received a significant blow after their star player Mohamed Salah sustained an injury at a crucial point in the season, raising concerns about whether he will appear again in the team's jersey before his anticipated departure.

Liverpool FC suffered a major blow after their Egyptian star Mohamed Salah was injured during the match against Crystal Palace, which ended with the "Reds" winning 3-1 in the English Premier League.

Salah left the pitch before an hour of play had passed due to a hamstring injury, raising concerns among Liverpool fans about his ability to return before the end of the current season.

Ibrahim Hassan, the manager of the Egyptian national team, revealed that initial examinations indicate the player has suffered a muscle tear, with expectations of his absence lasting up to 4 weeks, which is close to the number of rounds remaining in the competition.

Liverpool has four remaining league matches against Manchester United, Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Brentford. The final round match against Brentford, scheduled for May 24, seems the closest opportunity for Salah's return, although his participation is still uncertain and depends on the speed of his recovery.

For his part, Dutch coach Arne Slot confirmed that the player's situation remains unclear, saying: "We don't know if he will return this season or not... We have to wait to see how the injury develops."

This injury comes at a critical time, less than 50 days before the start of the 2026 World Cup, where Mohamed Salah is expected to lead the Egyptian national team in the tournament. This prompted the coaching staff to contact Liverpool to check on his condition.

Mohamed Salah had previously announced his departure from Liverpool at the end of the season, after an exceptional career during which he scored 257 goals in 440 matches, making the likelihood of his absence from the remaining games a poignant end to his journey with the "Reds."
