Salah’s Hamstring Tear Ends Liverpool Career, Casts Doubt on Egypt’s World Cup

Mohamed Salah suffered a hamstring tear in Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Crystal Palace. He will miss at least four weeks and will not feature again this season. This injury likely marks his final appearance for the Reds after nine trophy-laden years. Egypt’s national team director has expressed hope that Salah will recover in time for the 2026 World Cup. But his history of pre-tournament setbacks, including a shoulder problem before Russia 2018, adds to the anxiety. Drawn in Group G with Belgium, New Zealand and Iran, Egypt will rely heavily on Salah’s fitness. Every stage of his rehabilitation will be monitored closely ahead of the tournament.
