The Future of Mohamed Salah at Liverpool

Liverpool manager Arne Slot said Mohamed Salah “deserves a big send-off” as he confirmed he expected the departing superstar to return from injury before the end of the season.

Injury Update and Return to Action

The Egypt forward, who will leave Anfield at the end of the campaign, was forced off in last weekend’s 3-1 win at home to Crystal Palace, prompting fears he may have played his final game for the Reds.

Liverpool confirmed on Wednesday that Salah, 33, had suffered a “minor muscle injury” and was expected to be able to return to action before the campaign comes to an end.

The Impact of Salah's Departure

Salah has scored 257 goals in 440 appearances since his arrival at Anfield in 2017, behind only Ian Rush and Roger Hunt in Liverpool’s list of leading goal scorers.

Clubs in the Saudi Pro League and the Major League ⁠Soccer (MLS) in the United States have been linked with moves for Salah.

The Send-off and Future Outlook

“If there’s ever a player who deserves to get a big send-off, it’s definitely Mo,” Slot said.

Liverpool have four games remaining, starting with their trip to face Manchester United on Sunday.
