Mohamed Salah is set to miss the remainder of the season after suffering a hamstring tear during Liverpool FC’s 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace. The injury forced the forward off around the hour mark, and initial assessments indicate he will require approximately four weeks of recovery.
Egypt Official Confirms Timeline
Egypt national team director Ibrahim Hassan confirmed that the 33-year-old’s injury effectively rules him out of Liverpool’s remaining fixtures. While the club has yet to issue a detailed medical update, the diagnosis suggests Salah may have already played his final match for Liverpool this season.
Potential End to Liverpool Chapter
With Salah previously indicating he could leave at the end of the campaign, the injury raises the possibility that his Anfield career has concluded prematurely. Over nearly a decade, he has become one of Liverpool’s greatest players, contributing goals and assists consistently while climbing to third on the club’s all-time scoring list.
World Cup Fitness Remains Positive
Despite the setback, there is optimism regarding Salah’s availability for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Medical estimates suggest he will recover in time to join Egypt’s squad, avoiding a repeat of the injury disruption he experienced ahead of the 2018 tournament.
Major Blow for Liverpool’s Run-In
Salah’s absence is a significant setback for Liverpool as they push for a strong finish in the Premier League and aim to secure Champions League qualification. His experience and attacking output have been central to the team’s campaign, making his injury a crucial loss during the decisive final stretch of the season.
