Liverpool teammate issues Mohamed Salah injury WARNING

Mohamed Salah is out on his own as the best player in the Premier League at present and quite probably the world.

The Egyptian King is breaking goalscoring and assist records seemingly by the week and is leading Liverpool towards Premier League, EFL Cup and Champions League challenges.

The 32-year-old has scored 25 times and added 17 assists in the top flight this season and has been Arne Slot’s go-to source for creativity and goals this term.

He has shaken off the post-Christmas tree blues which have dogged previous seasons at Anfield and actually seems to be getting stronger as the season goes on.

But his importance to the team means that Liverpool’s players live in mortal fear that Salah will suffer an injury that could derail their campaign.

'Brother be careful please'

Teammate Ibrahima Konate recently commented “Brother be careful please” on Salah’s Instagram account. Salah had posted a celebratory image for Ramadan, hashtagged #RamadanKareem.

It featured the goal-getter putting up various decorations around his home for the holy month. One slide showed Salah standing on the back of his sofa in order to pin up some bunting, a sight that worried Konate and led to his response.

Liverpool can ill-afford a Salah injury with huge games on the horizon in the league, the EFL Cup and the Champions League.

Last season an injury hit Salah at the Africa Cup of Nations. He never truly recovered his form as Jurgen Klopp’s final season drew to a close.

No contract breakthrough

We could well be living the final days of Salah’s Liverpool reign with the Egypt international out of contract in summer 2025. There has been no breakthrough in talks over a new deal with teams in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere lining up to make Salah their new star attraction.

Salah is known to be open to renewing his contract on Merseyside but so far FSG and sporting director Richard Hughes have not met the forward’s demands.

He currently earns £350,000 per week but it’s unlikely Salah will get the money or the contract duration he seeks at Liverpool. Let’s hope there’s a compromise soon.
