Liverpool's Salah injury not as bad as first feared and could return before season's end

Salah came off during Liverpool's ‌3-1 win over Crystal Palace with ‌a suspected hamstring injury that threatened to end his season as well as his ‌career at the Anfield club, ⁠with the ‌Egyptian leaving at the end of the ​campaign.

Egypt's national team director Ibrahim Hassan said Salah would need four ​weeks of treatment for a hamstring tear, effectively ending his season before ⁠the World Cup, ​but the club confirmed it was a minor muscle injury.

"Liverpool FC can confirm Mohamed Salah is expected to be ‌available to play again before the end of this season," the club said in a statement.

"The issue that caused his withdrawal has now been confirmed as a minor muscle injury.

"It is, however, anticipated Salah will return to action ahead of 2025-26's conclusion and ‌his departure from the Reds this ​summer."

Dubbed 'The Egyptian King', Salah is third ‌on Liverpool's all-time top scorers list, with 257 goals in 440 appearances.

Liverpool are fourth in the standings with 58 points and next play ⁠away at Manchester ⁠United on ‌Sunday.
