Mohamed Salah had to stop the FA Cup final early on Saturday evening. The Liverpool attacker went to the ground in the game against Chelsea at a 0-0 score in the 31st minute of play, with no opponent nearby. After a treatment of two minutes, the Egyptian was unable to continue and had to be replaced by Diogo Jota. The shock was visible on the faces of, among others, manager Jürgen Klopp and the Liverpool fans.
The injury comes as a major shock to Liverpool as Salah will not only miss the remainder of the FA Cup final but will also put the Champions League final in jeopardy. For the time being, the seriousness of the injury is unclear, so Salah may have been taken to the side as a precaution. He appears to be suffering from a muscle injury. Partly due to the injury history of the winger, dropping out is extra painful, because in 2018 he already went to the side injured in the 33rd minute of the Champions League final.
Ooh! Salah feels his groin and has to get out???
