Salah, the club's third all-time leading scorer with 257 goals, made his 440th appearance for the Reds on Saturday as Crystal Palace lost 3-1 at Anfield. However, the Egyptian superstar was forced off with a muscle problem just before the hour mark.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot confirmed post-game that Salah would undergo a scan to assess the severity of the injury, as per the Liverpool Echo .

On Sunday, Egypt's technical director Ibrahim Hassan suggested the 33-year-old would be sidelined for the next four weeks. Nevertheless, Van Dijk insists his long-time teammate will go above and beyond to ensure he is fit for selection once more for the club he has served with distinction since 2017. "We will see him again this season?

I hope so," the Liverpool captain said. "There will be a medical assessment and then that will determine what the issue is going to be. "I know he is doing everything in his power to be back on the pitch as soon as possible.
