Liverpool manager Arne Slot confirmed Salah underwent medical tests after leaving Anfield's match early, raising concerns about his future with the club. While the 32-year-old walked off unaided, his prolonged departure sparked speculation about a potential season-ending injury. Slot emphasized Liverpool must 'wait and evaluate' the situation, though he expressed hope for the forward's return. The player's performance against Manchester United on 14 April – where he netted his 16th goal in 18 fixtures against the Red Devils – highlighted his enduring impact despite recent setbacks.

Since joining in 2017, Salah has become Liverpool's third-highest scorer with 257 goals in 435 appearances, trailing only Ian Rush (346) and Roger Hunt (285). His accolades include two Premier League titles, a Champions League, and multiple domestic cups. Despite missing recent matches, his influence remains pivotal, particularly in high-stakes games like the upcoming clash with Manchester United – a fixture where he's historically excelled.

With Liverpool's season concluding against Brentford on 19 May, Salah's availability could shape the team's final fixtures. The 2023-24 campaign has seen him contribute 14 goals and 11 assists, but his injury timing – just weeks before the season finale – risks disrupting the squad's title defense. Slot's cautious approach underscores the club's need to balance immediate results with long-term planning for their iconic forward.
