Mohamed Salah left Anfield applauding all four sides after appearing to pick up a hamstring problem during Liverpool\u2019s meeting with Crystal Palace. He pulled up shortly before the hour mark and was forced off, trudging from the pitch to a chorus of concern from the crowd.<\/p>\n
Immediate fears surrounded the severity of the issue and whether the injury could end Salah\u2019s season, and even his Liverpool career. With roughly one month remaining of the campaign, the forward faces a clear race against time if he is to appear again in a Liverpool shirt.<\/p>\n
Liverpool have just four fixtures remaining this season. A trip to Manchester United next Sunday already feels too soon for Salah if he has injured his hamstring, while the extent of the blow will determine whether a return is possible before the end of the campaign.<\/p>\n
Chelsea travel to Anfield on May 9 in a tense fixture in the race for Europe, and that will be the penultimate chance for Salah to play in front of a home crowd in a Liverpool shirt. Arne Slot\u2019s side end the season at home to Brentford and Liverpool will undoubtedly use that fixture to pay tribute to Salah. Long-standing left back Andy Robertson can also expect a hero\u2019s farewell, but fans will hope to see the Egypt international on the pitch one final time.<\/p>\n
Complicating the club situation is this summer\u2019s World Cup. Salah will be keen to hurry back to action and bid farewell to his club, but he will not want to risk exacerbating a problem that could affect his involvement this summer in what is likely to be his final World Cup appearance.<\/p>\n
The coming days and medical assessments will be decisive. Liverpool\u2019s remaining schedule and the timing of recovery will decide whether supporters will witness Salah one more time at Anfield before the season closes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
