The era of Mohamed Salah at Liverpool appears to have reached a heartbreaking and premature conclusion following confirmation of a serious hamstring injury.
During the 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace last weekend, the 33-year-old was forced off in the 59th minute after pulling up with a muscle problem.
Today, Egypt’s national team director, Ibrahim Hassan, confirmed that scans have revealed a hamstring tear that will require at least four weeks of rehabilitation.
This diagnosis effectively rules Salah out of Liverpool’s remaining four Premier League fixtures this season.
With his contract set to expire this summer and a move to the Saudi Pro League widely expected, the Egyptian legend may have already played his final game for the club.
Fans had hoped for a grand farewell at Anfield in the season finale, but it now seems Salah will be confined to the stands as he watches his teammates fight for Champions League qualification.
Since joining in 2017, Salah has been the club’s primary goal threat, and his absence leaves a massive void for Arne Slot to fill in the immediate and long-term future.
