Liverpool were handed a huge injury blow at the half hour mark as Mo Salah was forced off the pitch with an injury.
Commenting on the matter online, Mirror journalist, David Maddock, tweeted his suspicions that it ‘looks like a bad one’ for the Egyptian King, with Kevin Palmer claiming that it looked to be a ‘groin’ concern.
A groin injury for Mo Salah. Big blow for Liverpool in this game. He now faces a race against time to be fit for #UCL final but he will do everything to be ready for Paris #FACupFinal #CHELIV #LFC

Looks like a bad one for Salah. He wants to stay on, but physio firmly said no. #LFC #FACupFinal

With the Merseysiders already missing Fabinho for the tie, it’s an added worry that Jurgen Klopp’s men could very well do without, particularly so close to the Champions League final.
Given that the former Roma hitman was able to walk himself off the pitch, we have to hope it’s similarly not so serious an issue as to the hamstring strain our Brazilian international suffered at Villa Park.
It’s a loss that’s sure to embolden Thomas Tuchel’s men at Wembley, though we’d do well to remember that there remains plenty of attacking threat on our end with Diogo Jota coming on to replace our No.11.
