Mohamed Salah was forced off with a minor muscle injury in Liverpool’s win over Crystal Palace, raising fears that the Egyptian will not play for the Reds again this season
Mohamed Salah is anticipated to feature for Liverpool once more, the club have announced, after concerns that he had sustained a campaign-ending injury.
The Reds acted to calm anxieties over a fairytale send-off for the Egyptian after the 33-year-old was withdrawn against Crystal Palace with a hamstring problem.
With less than a month left in the Premier League campaign and four fixtures remaining, images of the Egyptian limping off and acknowledging the acclaim of the Anfield faithful triggered worries that his season and Liverpool stint was finished.

Salah will depart Liverpool at the conclusion of the season, a year into a two-year contract, after reaching an understanding with the club to allow him to exit on a free transfer in the summer.
The Liverpool hero hasn’t matched his lofty standards this campaign as Arne Slot’s team suffered a disappointing Premier League title defence, finding themselves scrapping for Champions League qualification, 12 months on from storming back to the pinnacle of English football.
Thanks to Salah’s impact last season, the Dutchman secured a winners’ medal in his maiden campaign, but tension surfaced after the star attacker found himself omitted from the squad, resulting in explosive remarks in December.
In a statement, Liverpool wrote: “Liverpool FC can confirm Mohamed Salah is expected to be available to play again before the end of this season.
“The No.11 was substituted during the second half of last Saturday’s Premier League win over Crystal Palace at Anfield. The issue that caused his withdrawal has now been confirmed as a minor muscle injury,” reports the Mirror.
“It is, however, anticipated Salah will return to action ahead of 2025-26’s conclusion and his departure from the Reds this summer.”
