Coach shares latest on Mohamed Salah injury as Steven Gerrard warning threatens to come true

Mohamed Salah may have played his final game for the club. After limping off during the midweek clash against Crystal Palace, the worst fears of the Anfield faithful seem to have been confirmed by international sources, suggesting the Egyptian King’s storied tenure in Merseyside could be reaching a premature and sad conclusion.

According to Egypt’s assistant coach, Ibrahim Hassan, medical assessments from the national team camp indicate that Salah has suffered a significant hamstring tear.

The injury is expected to sideline the forward for at least four weeks, which would effectively ending his participation in the remainder of the Premier League season.

Speaking to the Reuters (quotes via Al Jazeera), Hassan was direct about the severity of the issue, stating: “He has suffered a hamstring tear and will require four weeks of treatment.”

Steven Gerrard on Mohamed Salah injury

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, speaking on TNT Sports (via Mirror), expressed grave concerns over the news.

Having experienced the physical toll of high-stakes football himself, the former captain suggested that Salah’s optimism might be misplaced given the nature of hamstring issues at this stage of the season.

Gerrard emphasised that the lack of a proper farewell would be a tragedy for both the player and the supporters.

“It would be sad, but let’s hope that’s not the case [that he’s played his final game].

“It’s worse than Mo probably thinks it is now, but until you can get it properly assessed by the medical team, and you have an MRI scan, you don’t really know the extent.”

“If it is the case that he’s played his last game, that would be extremely sad – not just for Mo but for everyone connected with Liverpool Football Club, because he’s been a legend and everyone wants to see him get the send-off he deserves.”

Sad end to an otherwise illustrious Liverpool career

With Salah set to leave the club once his contract expires this summer, a four-week layoff would mean he has no further opportunities to wear the red shirt.

Since arriving from Roma in 2017, Salah has smashed nearly every goal-scoring record at the club, leading them to Premier League and Champions League glory.

If the 3-1 win over Palace was indeed his curtain call, it marks a quiet end for a player who has provided so many loud, iconic moments.

While the medical team at AXA Training Centre will be working around the clock to find a miracle, the reality is setting in: Liverpool may have to navigate the final stretch of the season and their future without their greatest modern-day icon.
