Salah expected to return before the end of the season

Arne Slot has confirmed that Mohamed Salah is expected to return to action before the end of the season.

The Egyptian is leaving the club at the end of the current season after making a massive impact during his seasons with the Reds.

However, there were fears that Salah had played his last game for the club during Liverpool's 3-1 win at home to Crystal Palace when the forward was taken off with just under an hour gone in the game.

Ahead this Sunday's big game with rivals Manchester United, Slot confirmed that the injury is not a severe one.

"He is always working incredibly hard during the season when he is fit and when he is injured to get back as soon as possible," the Dutch manager said.

"Usually he is back earlier fit than other players. He has a minor injury and we expect and need him back for the final part of the season, but not for Sunday.

"It is a big relief that his injury is minor and he is able to play for us and at the World Cup. If a player deserves a big send off then it is Mo."

Slot went on to say that goalkeeper Alisson Becker is yet to return to training with the club taking 'no risks' with the player.

"We are aware that it is a very big game," Slot went on to say about this weekend's clash.
