Mohamed Salah forced off injured for Liverpool in FA Cup final against Chelsea

14.05.2022

Mohamed Salah was forced off with what looked to be a groin injury for Liverpool in the FA Cup final against Chelsea.

Salah sat down on the pitch just after the half-hour mark holding his groin, and despite getting himself back to his feet, walked off to be replaced by Diogo Jota – who has scored 23 goals for club and country this season.

Speaking on the BBC, Gary Lineker called the loss of Salah “a massive blow”.

Liverpool have key fixtures ahead with the Champions League final in Paris on May 28, as well as their remaining Premier League fixtures at Southampton on Tuesday and their final-day game against Wolves at Anfield on May 22.
