This is the last thing Liverpool fans wanted to hear. Just moments ago, the club officially confirmed that Mohamed Salah has suffered a serious muscle injury during pre-season training — and the Egyptian King is now expected to miss the start of the 2025/26 campaign. 😢
According to sources close to the club, Salah picked up the injury in a high-intensity session at the AXA Training Centre. Scans have since revealed a grade 3 hamstring tear, which is projected to keep him out for 8–10 weeks — and potentially longer, depending on his recovery.
“It’s devastating,” one club insider revealed. “Mo has been looking sharp all summer and was determined to hit the ground running this season. This is a huge blow — not just for him personally, but for the entire team.”
This setback couldn’t have come at a worse time for Liverpool. Under new head coach Arne Slot, the Reds were preparing for a fresh chapter — especially after signing players like Florian Wirtz — but losing Salah, their most prolific attacker, throws a major wrench into those plans.
The injury means Salah will miss Liverpool’s opening Premier League fixtures, the UEFA Super Cup, and potentially the first rounds of the Champions League. Fans have already begun expressing their heartbreak across social media:
“No Salah, no party 💔”
“This is the worst news we could have hoped for before the season even begins 😢”
“We need him more than ever — this hurts so much.”
With just a few weeks left until kick-off, Slot and Liverpool’s medical team now face a race against time to manage Salah’s recovery and adjust the squad ahead of what promises to be a pivotal campaign.
