Liverpool confirm Mohamed Salah will return from injury before season ends
Liverpool have confirmed forward Mohamed Salah will play for the club again this season after suffering a minor muscle injury against Crystal Palace.
Fears had grown that the 33-year-old had made his final appearance for the Reds after limping off during Saturday’s Premier League victory at Anfield.
The Egyptian is set to leave Merseyside on a free transfer this summer after reaching an agreement to depart a year before his contract expires.
However, the club has moved to reassure supporters that their talisman will feature again during the current campaign.
Minor muscle issue
A club statement verified that the issue causing his weekend withdrawal was not as severe as initially feared.
“Liverpool FC can confirm Mohamed Salah is expected to be available to play again before the end of this season.”
“The issue that caused his withdrawal has now been confirmed as a minor muscle injury.”
“It is, however, anticipated Salah will return to action ahead of the season’s conclusion and his departure from the Reds this summer.”
Anfield farewell beckons
The L4 icon has endured a challenging campaign under manager Arne Slot as Liverpool struggled in their Premier League title defence.
Friction emerged between the star forward and the Dutch coach earlier this term, culminating in incendiary comments from the player in December.
Despite those difficulties, the impending departure of the prolific winger will mark the end of an era for the Anfield side.
With just under a month and four league matches remaining, fans will now get the chance to bid a proper farewell to one of their greatest modern players.
