**_CAIRO:_** Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah will miss the rest of the Premier League because of the hamstring injury he suffered in their 3-1 Premier League win over Crystal Palace, according to Egypt national team director Ibrahim Hassan.
Liverpool have made no comment on Salah’s condition but Hassan: “He has suffered a hamstring tear and will require four weeks of treatment.”
Liverpool have two home fixtures remaining – against Chelsea on May 9 and Brentford on May 24 – and visit Manchester United on May 3, a side Salah has regularly tormented, and play Villa away on May 17.
Salah, the club’s third-highest goalscorer of all time, has recorded 12 goals and nine assists across all competitions this season.
Hassan said Salah will be fit for the 2026 World Cup, where Egypt will face Belgium, New Zealand and Iran in Group G.
However, Salah is determined to recover in time for the tournament in North America, which starts on June 11 and avoid a repeat of the injury setback he suffered before the 2018 edition. He injured his shoulder in a 3-1 defeat by Real Madrid in the Champions League final, and despite scoring twice in two matches, Egypt were eliminated at the group stage in Russia.
