Mo Salah has suffered a heartbreaking update. You've simply got to feel for the Liverpool star.
Mohamed Salah went off injured for Liverpool against Crystal Palace. It’s the rarest of the rare: one of the hallmarks of Salah’s time as a Liverpool player is his unbelievable availability.
Only, this has also come at the worst-possible time. Salah only has a few Liverpool games left and a hamstring injury now risks ruling him out of the rest of his Anfield career.
So was Saturday his final match as a Liverpool player? Well, the news from Egypt is that it probably was.
They believe he's done for four weeks, which would just about rule Salah out of the remainder of the season. 'Just about' is the key thing here and the Egyptian might be back for the very last game.
But that's where the heartbreaking decision comes into play. Salah really shouldn't play again this season and in any other campaign there's essentially zero chance that he'd feature.
It's only the fact that he won't want that to have been his goodbye that might get him back on the pitch. But in doing so, he risks aggravating the hamstring problem and putting his World Cup at risk.
So that's Salah's decision. Does he risk his World Cup by playing one final Liverpool match at Anfield for a proper goodbye? Or does he decide never to have his goodbye in order to keep his World Cup safe?
We imagine he'll pick the latter, as devastating as it is.
Mo Salah: Situation Summary
Liverpool Performance and Stats
As of 27 April 2026, Mohamed Salah is concluding a historic nine-year career at Anfield. In the 2025/26 Premier League campaign, the 33-year-old has recorded seven goals and six assists across 25 appearances (2,058 minutes). While he maintained a 7.08 average rating, his influence has noticeably waned compared to previous seasons, marked by a tense relationship with manager Arne Slot. He was substituted with an apparent hamstring injury during a 3–1 win over Crystal Palace on 25 April, leading to fears he may have played his final game for the club.
Transfer Confirmation and Saudi Interest
Salah has confirmed he will depart Liverpool this summer. Despite having one year left on his contract, the club will reportedly allow him to leave on a free transfer. Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr, managed by Jorge Jesus, is the primary contender for his signature, with the prospect of a strike force featuring Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane. Rangers and various MLS clubs have also been linked.
Salah remains Egypt's talisman, scoring four goals in the 2025 AFCON. He is set to lead the Pharaohs at the 2026 World Cup this June.
