According to **The Guardian**, Liverpool’s star forward Mohamed Salah was forced to limp off the pitch during their recent victory against Crystal Palace. The injury comes at a critical juncture in the Premier League season as the title race enters its final weeks, sparking major concern among the Anfield faithful.
**Sky Sports** confirmed the substitution, reporting that Salah appeared to be holding his hamstring as he left the field in the 72nd minute. “We are awaiting scan results, but we hope it’s just a precaution,” manager Arne Slot was quoted as saying during the post-match press conference. **ESPN FC** also provided updates, noting that “the loss of Salah for any period could hand a massive advantage to Arsenal and Manchester City in the three-way title tussle.”
Salah is the heartbeat of Liverpool’s attack, and an injury now could be catastrophic for their trophy ambitions. Beyond the club level, Egyptian fans are also on edge ahead of upcoming international qualifiers. Watch the medical reports closely this week; if it’s a Grade 2 tear, Liverpool’s season might effectively be over.
