Liverpool is currently facing uncertainty regarding the future of star forward Mohamed Salah after he sustained an injury during Saturday's 3-1 Premier League victory against Crystal Palace. Salah, who appeared to suffer a hamstring problem in the second half at Anfield, was replaced by Jeremie Frimpong and acknowledged the home supporters, leading to speculation that this might have been his final appearance for the club. With only four games remaining before his anticipated departure this summer, following a highly successful career at Liverpool, his race against time to recover is critical.

When questioned about whether Salah had played his last game for Liverpool, manager Arne Slot stated, "We don't know, that is the best answer I can give." He further elaborated that while there might be a chance, he couldn't confirm, emphasizing that the season concludes in four weeks. Slot expressed confidence in Salah's dedication to his physical well-being, noting, "What I do know about Mo is he has taken so good care of his body all these years that he will have the minimum time required to recover from an injury and let's hope for the best, that he is available in the last part."

Despite the injury concern, Liverpool secured the win against Palace with goals from Alexander Isak, Andy Robertson, and Florian Wirtz. Notably, this marked Isak's first Premier League goal at Anfield and his first since returning from a broken fibula earlier in the month. Slot reflected on Isak's contribution, acknowledging the striker's previous injury struggles. "Did anyone ever thought we would say this eight or nine months ago, to say that that Alexander Isak scores his first goal for Liverpool at Anfield?" Slot remarked, adding that Isak's goal-scoring ability, which they knew about when signing him, was crucial, especially after the team had missed such a presence due to his unavailability or sub-par performance when injured.
