Lagos, Nigeria — The Egyptian football icon Mohamed Salah is on the mend from a minor hamstring injury, and his return to the Liverpool squad is anticipated to coincide with the club’s final match of the season.
The forward, who is set to leave Liverpool at the end of the current campaign, has been a pivotal figure for the club, scoring 257 goals in 435 appearances and contributing significantly to the team’s achievements. Salah sustained a hamstring problem during the victory over Crystal Palace on April 25, 2026.
However, the injury is deemed minor, allowing for optimism about his participation in Liverpool’s last game against Brentford on May 24. Liverpool coach Arne Slot confirmed on April 29 that Salah would play again during the campaign, expressing confidence in his recovery. “It’s a big relief that his injury is minor, so that he’s able to play for us, that he’s able to play at the World Cup, “Slot stated.
Salah’s fitness is crucial for Egypt’s national team, as he prepares to lead the team in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Speculation about his future includes potential moves to the Saudi Pro League, Turkey with Fenerbahce, or a return to Europe. Despite the speculation, Salah’s focus remains on securing a fitting farewell with Liverpool and guiding Egypt to success in the World Cup qualifiers.
With his injury now considered minor, the Egyptian forward is poised to fulfill these commitments.
