Those worries began on April 25, when the 33-year-old was substituted in the 59th minute during a 3-1 victory. As he acknowledged all sides of the stadium before heading down the tunnel, many interpreted the moment as a possible farewell after what has been a remarkable nine-year spell on Merseyside.
The club has since clarified the situation, offering reassurance ahead of the season’s final stretch. In an official statement, Liverpool confirmed that the issue is only a minor muscle injury and that Salah is expected to return before the campaign concludes. The update also reiterated that his departure is still planned for the summer, aligning with the end of his current contract.
Support for Salah’s recovery had already come from captain Virgil van Dijk, who expressed confidence in his teammate’s ability to bounce back quickly. Speaking after the Palace match, he highlighted Salah’s strong recovery habits and professionalism, suggesting a return before the season closes remained realistic. He also acknowledged the emotional weight of the moment, given the limited number of remaining home fixtures.
Meanwhile, Arne Slot’s side continue their push for a top-four finish. Liverpool face a demanding schedule, including matches against Manchester United and Chelsea, with Salah likely to miss those encounters. Crucial fixtures against Aston Villa and Brentford remain, with the latter potentially marking his final appearance at Anfield.
Attention is also shifting toward Salah’s future. Having already confirmed his intention to move on, anticipation is building over his next destination. Reports from Egypt suggest an announcement could arrive within days, with interest emerging from leagues in Saudi Arabia, Italy, and France.
As the forward prepares for his next chapter, the football world waits to see where the prolific scorer—responsible for 257 goals for Liverpool—will continue his career after his expected farewell.
