It is now "anticipated" Salah will return before the end of the season.
Salah was forced off in the 59th minute after clutching his left thigh and left the pitch to a standing ovation. The concern was immediate — Arne Slot had described the incident as "something but we have to wait and see how bad it is," and Tim Sherwood said on Soccer Saturday that it "could be the end of him in a Liverpool shirt."
According to BBC Sport, the club's medical assessment this week significantly softened that picture. Liverpool's final home game of the campaign is against Brentford at Anfield on 24 May, and there is now confidence that Salah will be fit to play in what would serve as his official farewell before his planned summer departure.
Salah confirmed last month he will leave Liverpool when his contract expires this summer after nine years and 257 goals in 435 appearances — the third-highest scoring record in the club's history.
He remains in contention to captain Egypt at the World Cup in North America, and the minor nature of the injury keeps that plan firmly on track.
