Arne Slot confirms Mohamed Salah will return for Liverpool this season
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has confirmed that Mohamed Salah will feature again this season following a recent injury scare.
The Egyptian forward was substituted during the recent 2-1 Premier League victory over Crystal Palace.
Fears had grown that the attacker might have played his final game for the Anfield club ahead of an expected summer departure.
However, the Reds boss alleviated those concerns ahead of this weekend’s crucial trip to Manchester United.
Relief over minor setback
The Dutch manager revealed the prolific goalscorer is working diligently on his rehabilitation.
“As we know for Mo, he is always working hard when he is fit and when he is injured to be back.”
Slot noted the player’s exceptional natural fitness levels mean a swift recovery is anticipated.
“He is usually fitter than others, so we expect him back for the final part of the season. Not for tomorrow.”
A fitting Anfield farewell
The Merseyside outfit currently have just four league fixtures remaining in the current campaign.
Ensuring the talismanic winger receives an appropriate send-off has become a priority for the coaching staff.
“It is always a big relief that his injury is minor to play for us and the World Cup. Any time a player who deserved a send-off, it’s great news.”
The former Roma man has cemented his legacy as one of Liverpool’s greatest ever players since arriving in 2017.
His imminent departure marks the end of a historic era for a squad undergoing significant transition.
