Mohamed Salah is set to miss this weekend's Premier League clash against Manchester United as he recovers from a minor muscle injury sustained against Crystal Palace last weekend. The Egyptian winger is expected to return for the final part of Liverpool's season, but Sunday's match comes too soon for him.
Arne Slot's Update
Liverpool manager Arne Slot remains hopeful that Salah will feature again before his nine-year spell at Anfield concludes this summer. Salah's final game at Anfield is anticipated to be against Brentford on 24 May, where an emotional farewell is expected.
Champions League Chase
Liverpool require five more points from their remaining four Premier League games to secure a top-five finish and a Champions League spot. The team is determined to achieve this target without their star winger.
Goalkeeper Alisson Becker is also close to returning from injury, with Freddie Woodman continuing to deputise in his absence. Slot confirmed that Alisson is making good progress and could be available soon.
Salah's absence is a blow, but Liverpool have depth in attack. The club is focused on securing European football as they prepare for life after their legendary forward.
