Don't entirely trust suspicious Mo Salah update

There's an update on Mo Salah doing the rounds. We don't think you should trust it.

Mohamed Salah went off injured against Crystal Palace. It's an incredibly rare sight and a potentially heartbreaking one - Salah will leave Liverpool after this season and the injury puts his remaining fixtures in doubt.

So was that the final time we see Salah in a Liverpool shirt? Well, that's the claim out of Egypt. The Egyptian national team doctor says their star player has a hamstring tear that rules him out for four weeks.

Now, maybe that's true. Maybe Salah is done. It's just very suspicious that Liverpool's no.11 would pick up an injury that rules him out for exactly the remaining time on the season.

Liverpool's final fixture, and thus the last Salah could play, comes literally four weeks to the day. The suggestion from Egypt, then, is that he'll miss the remaining days of the club season but then, like magic, he'll be fine to go again.

That would massively suit Egypt. They've got a World Cup to play and don't want Salah getting injured ahead of that - they'd rather he rested up and then joined them after the domestic season.

It's just very suspicious that the Egyptian National Team doctor believes that exact situation is playing out. That Salah will miss the rest of Liverpool's season but then is fine to link up with Egypt and participate fully at the World Cup.
