Manchester United beat Liverpool 2-1 on Saturday, a match that ended with Mohamed Salah limping off after a hamstring strain. The Egyptian forward, who has been Liverpool's talisman since 2017, is expected to recover before the season concludes. Club medical staff remain optimistic, noting that the injury is not season‑ending and could boost their European ambitions.

Since arriving at Anfield, Salah has amassed trophies including two Premier League crowns, a Champions League medal and two EFL Cups, placing him third on the club’s all‑time scoring list behind Ian Rush and Roger Hunt. His premature exit against Crystal Palace raised concerns about reaching further milestones, but a tentative timetable suggests a return for the May fixtures against Chelsea, Aston Villa and Brentford.

Manager Jürgen Klopp will have to adjust his attacking options for the final run‑in, but Salah’s availability could restore firepower as Liverpool chase a top‑four finish. Fans will be watching closely when he steps onto the pitch again, aware that his goals have often made the difference in tight games. His return is now a realistic expectation rather than a distant hope now.
