Mohamed Salah Set for Liverpool Return Before Final Exit
Liverpool has confirmed that Mohamed Salah is to play before the 2025-26 season ends despite suffering a muscle injury against Crystal Palace F.C. Salah has played 440 matches, scored 257 goals, and won 9 trophies for Liverpool. His return boosts their push for UEFA Champions League qualification.
Doing the rounds of concern among Liverpool supporters, news about Mohamed Salah’s injury has brought some relief. The Egyptian forward was forced off during Liverpool F.C.’s 3-1 win over Crystal Palace F.C. after suffering a minor muscle issue while stretching for the ball. Salah left the pitch just before the hour mark and received a standing ovation from the Anfield crowd, leading many to fear it could have been his final appearance for the club.
However, Liverpool’s medical team has confirmed that the injury is not serious. While the club has not given an exact recovery timeline, there is optimism that Salah will return before the end of the 2025-26 season. This means he is still likely to feature at least once more before officially ending his Liverpool journey this summer. Salah’s possible return is important as Liverpool remains in the race for Champions League qualification, with major Premier League matches still left against Manchester United F.C., Chelsea F.C., Aston Villa F.C., and Brentford F.C.
Across 9 seasons, Salah has played 440 matches, scored 257 goals, and won 9 trophies for Liverpool. He also holds an outstanding record against Manchester United, scoring 13 Premier League goals against them, including 7 at Old Trafford.
