Overview
- Arne Slot said Friday that Mohamed Salah will miss Manchester United but should be back for the final stretch of Liverpool’s season.
- Liverpool’s statement on Wednesday confirmed a minor muscle injury and said he is expected to play again before the campaign ends.
- Salah left Saturday’s 3-1 win over Crystal Palace with a suspected hamstring issue that sparked fears his Anfield farewell had gone.
- Slot called the diagnosis a big relief because it keeps him in contention for Liverpool’s run-in and for Egypt’s World Cup squad.
- Salah has scored 257 goals for Liverpool, and a final Anfield appearance could come on May 24 against Brentford if he recovers in time.
