Mohamed Salah will be assessed ahead of Liverpool’s next Premier League fixture after picking up a knock during their dominant 4-0 Champions League win over Galatasaray.
The Egyptian forward played a key role at Anfield but was forced off late in the game after signalling to the bench.
Mohamed Salah injury concern after Galatasaray win
Salah’s night ended on a worrying note despite his strong performance, with the forward requesting to be substituted after feeling discomfort.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot confirmed the issue post-match, suggesting it remains too early to determine the severity.
“He was asking for a substitution, not because he felt he'd scored enough, but he felt something,” Slot said.
“So let’s see where he is for the weekend and afterwards.”
Salah reaches historic Champions League milestone
Before his substitution, Salah delivered another standout performance in Europe.
He scored his 50th Champions League goal, becoming the first African player to reach that milestone, and also contributed an assist during Liverpool’s second-half surge.
Despite missing a penalty earlier in the match, he responded with a decisive impact as Liverpool turned the tie around.
Liverpool dominate to set up PSG clash
Liverpool produced a commanding display, scoring four goals to secure progression to the Champions League quarter-finals.
Goals from Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike complemented Salah’s strike as the hosts overwhelmed Galatasaray in a decisive second-half spell.
The result sets up a high-profile clash with Paris Saint-Germain in the next round.
Fitness race ahead of Brighton and key fixtures

The timing is significant, with an international break approaching, followed by a crucial FA Cup tie against Manchester City and the Champions League quarter-final against PSG.
