Has Mohamed Salah played his last game for Liverpool? Arne Slot reacts

Arne Slot says it is too early to know if Mohamed Salah has played his final Liverpool match after the Egyptian limped off with a hamstring injury against Crystal Palace. Salah will leave Liverpool at the end of the season.

In Short

• Slot said tests are pending before Liverpool decide Salah's immediate future
• Salah left the Palace match in the 59th minute clutching his hamstring
• The Egyptian will leave Liverpool at the end of the season

Liverpool manager Arne Slot said the club will have to wait and see whether Mohamed Salah has played his final match for Liverpool after limping off during the win over Crystal Palace. Salah suffered a left hamstring injury and was taken off in the 59th minute against Palace.

The Egyptian has already announced that he will leave the Merseyside club at the end of the season and now faces a race against time to be fit for Liverpool's final match of the campaign against Brentford on May 24. Speaking after the Palace win, Slot said Liverpool would need to assess Salah's condition before making a call.

"It's too early to say but we all know Mo and how hard it is for him to leave the pitch," Slot told Match of the Day. "For Mo to leave the pitch, it shows you something but we have to wait and see how bad it is." Salah was able to leave the pitch on his own, though he did so slowly, taking a moment to acknowledge all corners of Anfield with applause.

Slot said he felt the possibility of it being the Egyptian's last appearance for the club may have been on Salah's mind as he came off. "My honest answer is yes, the way he came off," Slot told Sky Sports. "It went through his mind because there are only a few weeks to go but we are hoping he plays for us again." He added: "You have tests to do and then we have to wait for the prognosis."

'SALAH HAS PLAYED HIS LAST LIVERPOOL GAME'

Egypt national team director Ibrahim Hassan claimed that Salah has played his final game for Liverpool after what he feels is a hamstring tear. "He has suffered a hamstring tear and will require four weeks of treatment," Hassan told Reuters.

Hassan, however, said that he believes Salah will be available for the World Cup 2026.

Since arriving at Liverpool in 2017, Salah has won two Premier League titles, the Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, FA Cup, two EFL Cups and the Community Shield. With 257 goals in 435 matches for the Reds, Salah is third on Liverpool's all-time scorers list, behind Ian Rush and Roger Hunt, as uncertainty remains over whether his appearance against Palace was his last for the club.
