2025 Fantasy Outlook
Salah defied even the loftiest of expectations last season, putting up some of the best league numbers ever en route to Ballon d'Or consideration. He was the best player in the Premier League and it wasn't particularly close. Salah tallied 29 goals and 18 assists while leading Liverpool to the Premier League title. AFCON will cost him at least some matches this season, but when he's on the pitch there are few better options. Now 33 years old, there's always the chance for more rotation after Liverpool acquired Jeremie Frimpong, though there were rumors of rotation last season and instead Salah played all but 43 minutes in the Premier League. He also remains the unquestioned top choice from the penalty spot for Liverpool.
Close to training
Salah (hamstring) is out for Saturday's match against Chelsea but is nearing a return to training, according to manager Arne Slot. "Mo [has] also not trained with us yet but is also, like Ali, getting very, very, very close to training with us."
ANALYSIS
Salah is not yet fit but is seeing progress, as the forward is nearing a return to training. This is good news as it keeps his planned return date against Aston Villa on the books, just needing to train next week. It does appear the Egyptian will then finish his career with Liverpool on the field, as he is expected to depart following the end of the season.

Expected to return this season
Salah (hamstring) is expected to return this season, and the damage is only minor, according to coach Arne Slot. "We know from Mo he is always working incredibly hard in the season when he's fit and especially when injured. Usually fit earlier than other players. Expect him back this season but not for tomorrow. A relief in all ways his injury is minor so he can play for us and in World Cup."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could join Fenerbahce
Salah might reject an approach from the Saudi Pro League to join Fenerbahce ahead of the 2026/27 season, according to Turkish outlet A Spor.
ANALYSIS
Salah already announced he's leaving Liverpool in the summer, and the star winger must decide where he'll play next season. He has been heavily linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League, but Salah is expected to consider other options as well. Fenerbahce are expected to make a move for the Egypt star, and although a decision will be made after the World Cup, it wouldn't be shocking if he chooses to join the Super Lig side. That would allow him to continue playing in the UEFA Champions League even after leaving Liverpool.
