Goodbye Mo! Liverpool boss Arne Slot reveals Salah to get big send-off

Arne Slot has provided a promising update on Mohamed Salah, confirming the forward's injury is not as severe as first feared, though he will miss Sunday’s trip to Manchester United.

The Egyptian talisman, who is set to depart Anfield at the end of the season, sparked concern last weekend when he was forced off during a 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace.

The sight of Salah receiving a standing ovation as he left the pitch led many to worry that his legendary Liverpool career had come to a premature end.

However, the club confirmed this week that the 33-year-old suffered only a "minor muscle injury."

While he remains sidelined for the clash at Old Trafford, Slot expects his star man to feature again before the curtain falls on the campaign.

"We expect him to be back in the final part of the season, but not for Sunday," Slot said during his Friday press conference.

"It's a big relief that his injury is minor, so that he's able to play for us, that he's able to play at the World Cup."

Slot was also quick to emphasize the importance of Salah receiving the farewell his historic career deserves.

"If there's ever a player who deserves to get a big send-off, it's definitely Mo."

Since joining from Roma in 2017, Salah has etched his name into Liverpool folklore, netting 257 goals in 440 appearances.
