Injury concern: Mohamed Salah went off clutching his left hamstring during Liverpool’s win over Crystal Palace
Liverpool face an anxious wait to determine the severity of a hamstring injury suffered by Mohamed Salah against Crystal Palace.
The Egyptian forward started Saturday’s Premier League match at Anfield and earned a first-half penalty following a sliding challenge by Brennan Johnson that was eventually overturned after a VAR review.
However, Salah’s afternoon was ended shortly before the hour mark when he went down off the ball clutching the back of his left leg and was quickly replaced by Jeremie Frimpong.
Salah walked off slowly and soaked up the adulation of an adoring Anfield crowd, applauding all four stands amid fears that the Liverpool icon - who will leave the club on a free transfer in the summer - may now have played the final game of his illustrious nine-year career on Merseyside, with only four matches left to go this term.
“Another win and another injury. It's the story of our season,” Reds boss Arne Slot said when asked for an update on Salah after the 3-1 win over Palace secured by goals from Alexander Isak, Andy Robertson and Florian Wirtz.
“It's too early to say but we all know Mo and how hard it is for him to leave the pitch. For Mo to leave the pitch, it shows you something but we have to wait and see how bad it is.”
