Cairo, Egypt — Mohamed Salah’s remarkable chapter at Liverpool FC has been brought to a premature close following a hamstring injury sustained during the club’s 3-1 triumph over Crystal Palace.
The injury, confirmed by Egypt national team director Ibrahim Hassan, spells the end of Salah’s 2025-26 campaign and his final season at Anfield. This development is a significant setback for both Liverpool and the Egyptian national team, as Salah was poised to play a pivotal role in the club’s pursuit of silverware and to represent Egypt at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Salah, who joined Liverpool in 2017, has been an integral part of the club’s success, scoring over 250 goals and making over 400 appearances.
His departure has been anticipated, as Salah had already announced his intention to leave at the end of the 2025-26 season.
However, the timing of the injury could not have been worse, occurring just weeks ahead of the World Cup and with the club season reaching its climax. Liverpool FC has yet to issue an official statement on Salah’s injury, but the implications are clear. With only a few games remaining, Salah’s absence could prove crucial in determining the outcome of the Premier League season.
The club’s third-highest goalscorer of all time, Salah has contributed 12 goals and nine assists across all competitions this season, playing a key role in keeping Liverpool at the top of the table before his campaign was cut short.
The Egyptian national team, which is preparing for the World Cup, will be without one of its key players. Hassan confirmed that Salah’s injury will require four weeks of treatment but expressed optimism that the 33-year-old will be fit for the tournament, which kicks off on June 11 in North America.
The Pharaohs are set to face Belgium, New Zealand, and Iran in Group G, and Salah’s presence would have been crucial for their chances.
As the club and national team navigate the remainder of the season and the World Cup preparations, respectively, the future of Salah remains uncertain. With the injury casting a shadow over his final season at Liverpool, fans and football enthusiasts alike will be watching closely to see how Salah’s recovery progresses and what impact it will have on both his club and country.
The news of Salah’s injury is based on multiple reputable sources, including Reuters and Al Jazeera, which are known for their reliable sports reporting. Hassan’s statements also lend credibility to the injury report.
However, the absence of an official statement from Liverpool FC slightly reduces the confidence in the report.
