(Video) What Mohamed Salah did as he walked off the Anfield pitch was a painful moment for Liverpool supporters to witness
Mohamed Salah appeared visibly shaken as he limped off during the second half of Liverpool’s clash with Crystal Palace this afternoon.
Just a month after confirming he’ll leave the Reds at the end of the season, the Egyptian stepped onto the pitch believing it would be his third-to-last outing at Anfield, with home fixtures against Chelsea and Brentford still to come in May.
Unfortunately, just before the hour mark, he went down and immediately grabbed his hamstring, instantly aware that his involvement in the game was over.
Salah looked heartbroken as he made his way off the pitch, applauding the fans who responded with warm support—yet there was a shared concern in that moment that it might be the final time he plays at Anfield, depending on the severity of the injury.
The 33-year-old seemed on the verge of tears as he slowly headed towards the dugout, taking his time to leave the field, his disappointment clear as he lowered his head.
It remains uncertain whether this marked his final appearance for Liverpool, but his reaction suggested he feared the worst. If he’s unable to return before the season ends, it would feel like a cruel ending to one of the greatest careers in Anfield history—bowing out injured and visibly devastated.
Ideally, Salah would sign off in style, perhaps scoring against Brentford on the final day—just as he began his Liverpool journey with a goal away to Watford in August 2017, followed by 256 more.
For now, all that remains is hope that he recovers in time to feature again and give fans one last special moment before his emotional farewell at Anfield.
