Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz have only started eight games together for Liverpool
As Mohamed Salah waved goodbye to the Anfield crowd on Saturday after getting injured, the manner of his reaction and that of all those in the ground suggested that deep down, both player and supporters knew it could be the final time.
Thankfully for Liverpool supporters, the side's manager Arne Slot confirmed on Friday the Egyptian is expected return to action before the end of the season after sustaining a minor muscle injury.
For now, what is certain is Liverpool will head to Old Trafford this weekend without the man that has a formidable record against Manchester United.
With 13 goals in 16 games against United, no player has scored more than Salah in the Premier League era against them. Against the other five 'big six' teams in the Premier League, Salah has contributed a mammoth 49 goals and 22 assists for the Reds.
