Mohamed Salah doubtful for Liverpool ahead of Champions League tie with PSG
Mohamed Salah is a doubt for Liverpool FC’s upcoming UEFA Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain after picking up an injury in the last European match.
The Egyptian forward impressed during the second half of Liverpool’s 16th-round second-leg victory over Galatasaray, but he finished the game hindered by a physical issue.
Manager Arne Slot confirmed that Salah will miss the Premier League match against Brighton due to the injury.
“ He is suffering from a physical problem and will not be available for the league game,” Slot said, signalling caution ahead of the crucial Champions League fixtures.
Liverpool face a tight schedule, with the first leg against PSG set for 8 April and the return on 14 April.
Salah’s participation will be pivotal for the Reds, who will rely on their star striker to lead the attack against the reigning French champions.
His ability to recover in time is now a major focus for the club’s medical team.
The concern comes amid a period of heavy fixture congestion, and Liverpool must balance the demands of domestic and European competitions.
Salah, however, has a history of bouncing back quickly from injuries, offering some reassurance to fans and staff alike.
Slot remains measured in his assessment but acknowledges the importance of having Salah fit for the quarter-final.
Liverpool’s hopes of progressing further in Europe could hinge on whether their talisman can regain full fitness in time to face PSG.
The Egyptian forward’s status will be closely monitored over the next few days, with medical updates expected before Liverpool’s squad departs for France.
