Mohamed Salah's suspected hamstring tear in Liverpool's 3-1 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday is poised to be his final appearance for the club, according to Egypt national team director Ibrahim Hassan. With a four-week recovery needed, Salah—already set to depart at season's end—may miss the Reds' last Premier League match against Brentford on May 24.
Salah limped off at Anfield clutching his left hamstring late in the victory. Hassan told Reuters the injury rules out a swift return before Liverpool's finale. This comes after Salah's March announcement of his exit following nine years at the club, where he has now reached 440 appearances, 257 goals, and 122 assists across nine trophies since joining from Roma in 2017. Liverpool boss Arne Slot was cautious post-match: “We don’t know. That is the best answer I can give. There might be a chance but we simply don’t know... Mo has taken such good care of his body all these years that he will have the minimum time required to recover. Let’s hope for the best.” Salah should recover in time for the World Cup.
