Liverpool FC have confirmed that star forward Mohamed Salah is expected to return to action before the end of the current season after suffering a minor muscle injury.
The club released an official statement providing an update on the Egyptian international’s condition following concerns over his fitness after last weekend’s Premier League clash against Crystal Palace F.C. at Anfield.
Salah was forced off during the second half of Liverpool’s victory after appearing to struggle physically, raising fears he could miss the remainder of the campaign. However, medical assessments have since confirmed that the problem is not serious.
According to Liverpool, the injury has been diagnosed as a minor muscle issue, with expectations that the 32-year-old forward will recover in time to feature again before the conclusion of the 2025–26 season.
The update comes as a relief for Liverpool supporters, particularly given Salah’s importance to the side. Since joining the club from A.S. Roma in 2017, the Egyptian has established himself as one of the most influential players in Liverpool’s modern era.
During his time at Anfield, Salah has helped Liverpool secure major honours, including the Premier League title, the UEFA Champions League, the FA Cup, and the League Cup. His goalscoring consistency and attacking influence have made him one of the most successful signings in the club’s history.
Liverpool’s statement also highlighted that Salah is still expected to feature again before his anticipated departure from the club this summer. His exit is set to bring an end to a highly successful spell on Merseyside that has lasted nearly a decade.
Salah’s expected departure has generated significant discussion among fans and football analysts, with reports suggesting he could pursue a new challenge outside England after completing his Liverpool chapter.
His exit would mark the end of an era for the Reds, considering his status as one of the club’s greatest modern-day players and one of the most prolific scorers in Premier League history.
