Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has dropped a major hint that he could be back from injury sooner than expected ahead of the clash with Manchester United<\/a> this weekend, despite concerns that his time at the club was drawing to a close. The Egyptian limped off during the Reds’ victory over Crystal Palace<\/a>, casting serious doubt over whether he would feature again this campaign.<\/p>\n

Had he been ruled out for the rest of the season, it would have brought a premature end to his Liverpool<\/a> career, given he has already confirmed he will be departing the club when his contract expires.<\/p>\n

However, Salah took to social media to post pictures of himself in training ahead of the showdown with Manchester United this weekend, while Arne Slot<\/a> confirmed the injury was nothing more than a minor setback.<\/p>\n

The Egyptian shared footage of himself out on the pitch at the AXA Training Ground, suggesting his injury may not be as serious as initially feared.<\/p>\n

Slot remained tight-lipped over Salah’s fitness, though did concede the forward would play no part in the matchday squad against Manchester United.<\/p>\n

The Reds boss said: “He is always working incredibly hard when he is injured to get back as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

“Usually, he is back earlier than other players. He has a minor injury, and we expect and need him back for the final part of the season, but not for Sunday [vs Man Utd].”<\/p>\n

Liverpool are also expected to be without their first-choice keeper Alisson for the clash at Old Trafford, with the Brazilian still sidelined through injury.<\/p>\n

“Ali hasn’t trained with us yet,” Slot revealed. “[He is] very close… I have to hear today from the medical staff if he is able to train today or tomorrow.<\/p>\n

“Otherwise, the start of next week. He is very close, but of course, we don’t want to take any risks.”<\/p>\n

Liverpool face Man United on Sunday, May 3 with kick-off scheduled for 3:30pm at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
