Salah Has Played His Last Game for Liverpool

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah will miss the remainder of the season after sustaining a hamstring injury during the 3-1 Premier League victory over Crystal Palace, confirmed Egypt national team director Ibrahim Hassan. The 33-year-old, who had already announced his departure from the reigning English champions at the end of the season, applauded the crowd as he was forced off injured in the 60th minute. However, according to Hassan, Salah is expected to be fit for the World Cup.

Liverpool has not yet released any information regarding Salah's condition. Nevertheless, Hassan stated that the Egyptian talisman has played his final match for the 'Reds.' "He suffered a hamstring tear and will require four weeks of treatment," Hassan explained.

After nine trophy-laden seasons, Salah's journey with Liverpool is drawing to a close. His farewell will be marked by words rather than goals, as he is set to address fans after the season finale against Brentford. Liverpool has two remaining home fixtures – against Chelsea on May 9th and Brentford on May 24th – along with an away trip to Manchester United on May 3rd, a team Salah has regularly tormented, and an away game at Villa on May 17th.

Liverpool's third-highest goalscorer of all time, Salah has registered 12 goals and 9 assists across all competitions this season. Hassan confirmed that Salah will be fit for the 2026 World Cup, where Egypt is drawn in Group G alongside Belgium, New Zealand, and Iran.

Salah is determined to recover in time for the North American tournament, which kicks off on June 11th, and avoid a repeat of the injury he suffered before the 2018 edition. He injured his shoulder in the 3-1 Champions League final loss to Real Madrid in 2018, and despite scoring two goals in two matches, Egypt exited in the group stage in Russia.
