This is the worst news Liverpool fans could have imagined right now. Just moments ago, it has been officially confirmed that Mohamed Salah has suffered a serious muscle injury during pre-season training β and the Egyptian King is now expected to miss the start of the 2025/26 campaign. π’
Sources close to the club have revealed that Salah picked up the injury during a high-intensity session at the AXA Training Centre, and initial scans have shown a grade 3 hamstring tear, which could sideline him for 8 to 10 weeks β possibly longer depending on his recovery.
βItβs devastating,β one insider said. βMo has looked sharp all summer, and heβs been fully committed to hitting the ground running this season. This is a huge setback β not just for him, but for the team.β
Liverpool were already preparing for life after some key senior players under new head coach Arne Slot, but losing Salah β who still remains the clubβs most reliable attacker β throws a massive wrench into those plans. This news comes just as fans were buzzing about a potential title challenge and new signings like Florian Wirtz settling in.
The injury also means Salah will miss crucial early-season fixtures, including Liverpoolβs opening Premier League games, a potential UEFA Super Cup clash, and possibly the early group stages of the Champions League.
Supporters have taken to social media in heartbreak:
βNo Salah, no party π,β
βThis is the worst news we couldβve heard before the season even starts π’,β
βWe need him more than ever β this hurts.β
With just weeks until the season kicks off, Arne Slot and the Liverpool medical team have a tough task ahead. Salahβs recovery will now be the clubβs top priority.
