Mohamed Salah makes bittersweet Anfield exit after injury vs Crystal Palace

Mohamed Salah may have played his final game for Liverpool on Saturday.

The Egyptian King made his 33rd start of the season against Crystal Palace at Anfield on Saturday, but things soured when the 33-year-old went off injured in the 60th minute.

Salah announced he would be leaving the club at the end of the season several weeks ago and had a smile on his face when he went down holding his hamstring with Liverpool 2-0 up.

The Anfield talisman has boasted an excellent injury record since he arrived in Merseyside, and his exit from the pitch was a truly bittersweet moment for Reds all round the globe.

Salah’s hamstring injury could derail farewell tour

Liverpool are embroiled in a fight to qualify for Champions League football next season, and three points on Saturday were key.

The Reds’ work isn’t done yet though, and if Salah is missing for the remainder of their matches it will be a big blow for Slot’s side.

Jeremie Frimpong replaced Salah, and that could be a sign of what’s to come for the final few matches.

Salah has found himself in and out of Slot’s starting XI this season, something he hadn’t really experienced before at Anfield, but he was entrusted to start on the right-wing in a crucial clash against Palace.

The Eagles had beaten Liverpool three times going into the match, and a 3-1 victory will be a result that Salah, Slot and all the Reds in Anfield will be happy with.
