Mohamed Salah has reassured Liverpool fans that his iconic Anfield journey isn't over just yet. In a candid interview with club legend Steven Gerrard, the Egyptian King delivered a much-needed injury update that will have the Kop buzzing.
"Yeah, for sure. The injury is fine. Definitely. I probably will be [back] before that, probably," Salah said when asked if he'd return for the season finale against Brentford. While his trademark cautious optimism leaves a sliver of doubt, the message is clear: Salah expects to grace the Anfield pitch one more time before what looks to be an emotional farewell.
After seven trophy-laden seasons, 200+ goals, and countless moments of magic, Salah deserves nothing less than a proper send-off. Whether he's in the starting XI or making a cameo from the bench, fans are hoping for one last glimpse of that famous left-footed curl into the far corner.
But Salah isn't just thinking about his final bow—he's thinking about his legacy. In a moment of striking ambition, he told Gerrard: "I really want to be remembered in this club. After the first year, I would say I want people to remember me as if I'm one of the best. And somehow it got into my head I want people to remember me more than you [Gerrard], more than Kenny [Dalglish]. I'm not trying to be rude! They will not. But it doesn't matter."
It's a wildly modest take from a player whose name already sits comfortably alongside those Liverpool immortals. Salah is an automatic pick for any all-time Reds XI—a status earned through consistency, clutch performances, and a humility that makes him even more beloved.
Where he ultimately ranks among the pantheon of Anfield greats is a debate for another day. Or, more accurately, for the decades to come. For now, Liverpool fans can focus on what matters most: getting to see their number 11 in action one last time at the stadium he's called home.
