Liverpool F.C.’s win over Crystal Palace F.C. should have provided a boost in momentum, but attention has quickly shifted to concerns surrounding Mohamed Salah after reports from Egypt suggested his season may already be over.
The Egyptian forward was taken off midway through the second half at Anfield, clutching his hamstring in a way that immediately raised fears of a serious injury. According to claims reported by FilGoal, citing Egypt national team director Ibrahim Hassan, Salah could be facing a muscle tear that may sideline him for up to four weeks. However, with no official confirmation from the club, such reports should be treated cautiously.
If accurate, that timeframe would likely rule the 33-year-old out of most—if not all—of Liverpool’s remaining fixtures this season, a significant setback in their pursuit of Champions League qualification and an emotional blow given this is expected to be his final campaign at the club. Still, muscle injuries typically require thorough medical assessments before any clear timeline can be established.
Manager Arne Slot echoed that uncertainty after the match, admitting it was too early to determine the severity, while noting that Salah rarely leaves the pitch unless something is seriously wrong.
There was a visible emotional weight as Salah left the field, applauding supporters with clear frustration, fueling fears that this could have been his final appearance at Anfield—with only two home matches left this season. Although a four-week recovery period doesn’t entirely rule out a return, it would leave him racing against time.
For now, the club awaits official medical updates, but there is a growing concern that one of Liverpool’s greatest players may have already made his last appearance in the famous red shirt.
