Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah is set to return to action for the Reds before the end of the current season. The muscle injury sustained by one of the 20-time English champions' key players is not as severe as initially feared.
Salah was substituted during Liverpool's 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace with what was believed to be a hamstring injury, an issue that threatened to sideline him for the remainder of the campaign. The prolific goalscorer is expected to depart Anfield after the championship final.
Ibrahim Hassan, director of the Egyptian national team, had stated that Mohamed Salah would require four weeks of treatment for a hamstring tear, which would effectively end his season before the World Cup. However, the English club has since confirmed it is a minor muscle injury.
"Liverpool can confirm that Salah is expected to be available again before the end of this season. The issue that caused his withdrawal has now been confirmed as a minor muscle injury," read a club statement.
Salah ranks third on Liverpool's all-time top scorers list, with 257 goals in 440 appearances.
Liverpool currently sits fourth in the league standings with 58 points. The Reds' next fixture is an away clash against Manchester United on Sunday.
