'Massive relief' knowing Salah will be back before end of season
[Getty Images] Liverpool fan Abigail Rudkin says "it is a massive relief" to know Mohamed Salah is expected to return from injury before the end of the season. There were concerns that Salah may have played his last game for the club after he was forced off against Crystal Palace on Saturday with a hamstring injury. However, Liverpool said on Wednesday that the problem is a "minor muscle injury" and that it is "anticipated" the Egypt international will recover in time to feature again before ending a nine-year spell at Anfield.
"You could sense the anxiety among the fanbase," Rudkin told BBC Radio Merseyside. "You didn't know if it was going to be his last game. "No-one wants to say goodbye to Salah in that way.
We all absolutely adore him so the idea that was the last time we'd see him in a Liverpool shirt was really sad. "It is a massive relief and it means now he can appreciate the games he has left with the fans. "He probably panicked himself when he went off injured thinking it would be the last time he plays for Liverpool.
