Salah’s Hamstring Injury Threatens Final Liverpool Chapter

On 25 April 2026 Liverpool beat Crystal Palace 3-1 at Anfield. In the 59th minute Mohamed Salah clutched his left hamstring and was replaced by Jeremie Frimpong. The 33-year-old, already confirmed to leave at season’s end, received a standing ovation as he exited, sparking speculation that the match could be his final appearance for the Reds.

Salah joined Liverpool in 2017 and has amassed 440 appearances, 257 goals and 112 assists, ranking third on the club’s all-time scorer list behind Ian Rush and Roger Hunt. He announced in March he will depart in the summer after nine trophy-laden seasons.

Egyptian national-team director Ibrahim Hassan said Salah suffered a hamstring tear requiring four weeks of treatment. Liverpool manager Arne Slot told the BBC the injury “shows how hard it is for him to leave the pitch” and admitted “we don’t know” the severity. He added that Salah’s careful body management means he will need only the minimum recovery time. The Egypt federation expects him to be fit for the 2026 World Cup.
