Mohamed Salah suffered an injury during Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Crystal Palace at the weekend.The Egyptian has been in top form in recent games, scoring two in two Premier League matches before taking on the Eagles.Salah could have matched Cristiano Ronaldo if he’d scored on Saturday, but he was instead taken off with a knock in the second half. That means if he does not return in time to face Manchester United next Sunday, he will miss his last chance to make them the team he has scored the most goals against.
Who was the best performer in a nervy win against Crystal Palace? 👀 Photo by Alex Livesey/Getty Images Mohamed Salah has scored his joint-most goals against Manchester UnitedThe 33-year-old has had a prolific goalscoring career, which has included winning the Premier League Golden Boot four times, the joint-most along with Arsenal icon Thierry Henry.To date, Salah’s favourite clubs to perform against are Manchester United, who Liverpool play on May 3, and Tottenham Hotspur.The Reds winger has played 25 games against Spurs across his career, winning 15, drawing six, losing four and scoring 16.Meanwhile, he has managed seven wins, six draws, five defeats and 16 goals against the Red Devils.Liverpool do not play Tottenham again this season, but with Utd coming up, Salah would have had one more chance to make them his highest-scoring opponent before leaving Anfield at the end of 2025/26.What Arne Slot said about Mohamed Salah’s injury vs Crystal PalaceAt present, though, we still do not know if the forward will have recovered in time for next week’s league clash.Slot provided an injury update on Salah shortly after the 3-1 win over Crystal Palace, but was coy in his comments.He said: “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.”If Salah does miss out against Michael Carrick’s side, Slot doesn’t have too many natural options available to replace him, and may well opt to give Rio Ngumoha a chance to shine.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
