Liverpool have decided to calm the nerves of the Anfield faithful by publishing a definitive update on Mohamed Salah’s fitness.
The legendary striker caused widespread concern when he limped off from the recent win over Crystal Palace, with many fearing his historic spell on Merseyside had come to a premature conclusion.
Positive diagnosis for the Egyptian king
The Anfield faithful were left in shock on April 25 when Salah was taken off in the 59th minute of Liverpool’s 3-1 victory.
The sight of the 33-year-old applauding from all four stands before disappearing down the tunnel led many to believe that a significant hamstring injury had ended his nine-year spell on Merseyside.
However, the club has now made a big push regarding its availability for filming.
“Mohamed Salah is expected to be available to play again before the end of this season. The issue that led to his withdrawal has now been confirmed as a minor muscle injury. However, Salah is anticipated to return to action before the conclusion of the 2025-26 season and his departure from the Reds this summer,” the club said in a statement.
Van Dijk backs ‘quick healer’
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk had already publicly expressed his belief that his teammate would find a way to return to the field before the end of the campaign.
Speaking after the match at the Palace, the Dutchman noted that Salah is known for his incredible physical stamina and professional dedication to recovery.
“Knowing Mo, he’s a fast healer with the right people around us and let’s see,” Van Dijk said.
He admitted that the emotion of the moment influenced the heavy atmosphere at Anfield, saying: “If you get injured at this stage of the season, especially in the situation you are in, you only have two more home games left. It’s a combination of feelings that go through your mind when you go out.”
Champions League race
Arne Slot’s side are currently embroiled in a battle to secure the Champions League for next season and will face a difficult series of matches without Salah in the short term.
The Egyptian international will almost certainly be sidelined for Manchester United’s upcoming trip to Old Trafford and the visit of Chelsea on May 9.
Liverpool’s remaining schedule includes high-stakes clashes against Aston Villa and Brentford.
The final day’s match against Brentford now carries extra weight as it is planned as the potential venue for Salah’s official farewell at Anfield in front of his home crowd.
Future destiny takes on great importance
While immediate attention is focused on Salah’s suitability for a potential final day send-off, talk over his next move continues to intensify.
The forward has already confirmed his intention to face a new challenge after being released from the last year of his contract and an official announcement about his next destination could be imminent.
According to the media coordinator of the Egyptian team, Muhammad Murad, the star will reveal his next destination in just a few days.
With interest from the Saudi Pro League, Italy and France, the world is waiting to see where the man who scored 257 goals at Liverpool will take his talents after saying goodbye to Anfield for good.
