Mohamed Salah suffered a muscular injury during Liverpool’s match against Crystal Palace in Matchweek 34 of the English Premier League, forcing him to leave the pitch in the second half, with Jeremie Frimpong coming on as his replacement. Liverpool’s medical staff are now closely monitoring the situation to determine the extent of the injury and the expected recovery period.

Medical Tests to Determine Length of Absence

Liverpool are awaiting the results of medical tests that Salah is expected to undergo in the coming hours, after he complained of pain in his hamstring. His availability for the remaining league fixtures will depend on the severity of the injury, especially with the season approaching its final stages and only a limited number of matches left to play.

Despite Salah’s forced substitution, Liverpool secured a 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace, continuing their push to maintain a place in the Premier League’s top four.

Salah’s Future Adds Weight to the Injury

The injury comes at a time when Salah’s future at Liverpool remains surrounded by questions, amid reports suggesting the possibility of his departure at the end of the current season after a long spell that began in 2017.

Five minutes later, Andrew Robertson doubled the hosts’ lead, giving Liverpool a clear advantage at half-time.

After the restart, Liverpool continued to manage the match calmly, before Salah stopped due to muscular discomfort and requested to be substituted around the 58th minute. He left the pitch, with Jeremie Frimpong replacing him. Following his exit, Daniel Munoz pulled one back for Crystal Palace in the 71st minute, before Florian Wirtz sealed the result with Liverpool’s third goal in stoppage time.
