Liverpool secured a 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace, moving closer to Champions League qualification, but Mohamed Salah left the match early with a left hamstring injury. Salah, who has announced his departure at season's end, may have played his final game for the club, though Liverpool manager Arne Slot said the severity is still being assessed. Egypt's national team director indicated a hamstring tear requiring four weeks of treatment, potentially ruling Salah out for the season but available for the 2026 World Cup.
