Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah will miss the remainder of the season after sustaining a hamstring injury during a 3-1 Premier League victory over Crystal Palace, Egypt national team director Ibrahim Hassan confirmed on Saturday.
Injury Details
The 33-year-old Egyptian winger, who has announced he will leave the reigning Premier League champions at the end of the season, applauded the crowd as he walked off the pitch injured in the 60th minute. Liverpool did not provide any official update on Salah's condition, but Hassan stated that the Egyptian star has played his final game for the Reds.
“He has suffered a hamstring tear and will require four weeks of treatment,” Hassan told Reuters.
Farewell to Liverpool
After nine trophy-filled seasons, Salah's journey with Liverpool reaches its conclusion. His farewell will be marked by words rather than goals, as he is expected to address the fans following the season finale against Brentford. Liverpool have two remaining home fixtures against Chelsea on May 9 and Brentford on May 24, and also visit Manchester United on May 3 and Aston Villa away on May 17.
Season Statistics
Salah, Liverpool's third-highest goalscorer of all time, has recorded 12 goals and nine assists across all competitions this season.
World Cup Readiness
Hassan said Salah will be fit for the 2026 World Cup, where Egypt will face Belgium, New Zealand, and Iran in Group G. Salah is determined to recover in time for the tournament in North America, which starts on June 11, and avoid a repeat of the injury setback he suffered before the 2018 edition. He injured his shoulder in a 3-1 defeat by Real Madrid in the Champions League final and, despite scoring twice in two matches, Egypt were eliminated at the group stage in Russia.
