Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah will miss the rest of the season after suffering a hamstring injury in a 3-1 Premier League win over Crystal Palace, Egypt national team director Ibrahim Hassan said.
The 33-year-old Egyptian winger, earlier announced he would Leave Liverpool at the end of the season. Hassan said the Egyptian talisman has played his last game for Liverpool.
“He has suffered a hamstring tear and will require four weeks of treatment,” Hassan said in an interview.
After nine trophy-filled seasons, Salah’s journey with Liverpool reaches its conclusion. His farewell will be marked by words rather than goals, addressing the fans following the season finale against Brentford.
Liverpool have two home fixtures remaining, against Chelsea on May 9th and Brentford on May 24th, and visit Manchester United on May 3rd and play Villa away on May 17th.
Liverpool’s third-highest goalscorer of all time, Salah has recorded 12 goals and nine assists across all competitions this season.
Hassan said Salah will be fit for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where Egypt will face Belgium, New Zealand and Iran in Group G.
However, Salah is determined to recover in time for the tournament in North America, which starts on June 11th and avoid a repeat of the injury setback he suffered before the 2018 edition.
