Injury could prevent Mohamed Salah from playing for Liverpool again (Paul ELLIS) (Paul ELLIS/AFP/AFP) Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk is certain Mohamed Salah will get the send-off his glittering career deserves, even if injury prevents the Egyptian from playing again for the Reds. Salah, who will leave Anfield after nine years at the end of the season, was forced off with a suspected hamstring injury in Saturday's 3-1 win over Crystal Palace. Liverpool are awaiting the results of a scan to determine the extent of the problem, but with just four games of the campaign remaining, the 33-year-old may not feature again this season. "If you get injured at this stage of the season, especially in the situation he is in, there is only two more home games left for him, it's a combination of feelings that go through your mind," said Van Dijk. "He will get the send-off regardless. I don't think that is the thing at this point, we shouldn't think too far ahead. "Knowing Mo, he is a quick healer and with the right people around him let's see." Salah has scored 257 goals in 440 appearances since his arrival in 2017, behind only Ian Rush and Roger Hunt in Liverpool's list of leading goalscorers. The winger has been integral to the club's rise back to the top of English and European football, winning the Champions League and two Premier League titles among a clutch of trophies. Salah also scooped the players' player of the year award a record three times and was the Premier League's top scorer on four occasions. kca/jw/pi
