Story of our season’ – Arne Slot issues post-match update on gut-wrenching Mo Salah injury
Arne Slot has given a post-match assessment of the injury that Mo Salah suffered during Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon.
Just before the hour mark, the Egyptian slumped to the turf and immediately felt his hamstring, and he looked close to tears as he walked off the pitch whilst reciporating the applause with which he was being showered by the Merseyside faithful.
With the 33-year-old leaving LFC at the end of the season, there was an instant realisation that, if it’s a severe injury, this could yet be his final appearance for the club after nine glorious years.

As he was left to reflect on the one major blemish from a crucial result in Liverpool’s pursuit of Champions League qualification, Slot hinted that Salah wouldn’t have gone off unless he was totally incapable of carrying on.
The Reds’ head coach told BBC Match of the Day: “Another win and another injury. It’s the story of our season. It’s too early to say but we all know Mo and how hard it is for him to leave the pitch. For Mo to leave the pitch, it shows you something but we have to wait and see how bad it is.”
