Mohamed Salah played for Egypt during the international break. At 34, in the final chapter of his Anfield career — or what may be the final chapter — his performances for his country carry a specific emotional weight. Salah's goal output for Egypt in recent internationals has maintained the kind of consistency that clubs paying £100m+ for forwards would demand. He creates, he scores, he leads. The Egyptian national team is built around him to the same degree that Liverpool's attack has been. What the international break confirmed: Salah's physical condition is strong. His goal instinct — the thing that is hardest to maintain with age — remains sharp. The fitness that Liverpool supporters feared might begin to slip has not done so noticeably. What remains uncertain: his contract. His future at Anfield. Whether Salah vs Fulham on Saturday 11 April is one of 50 more appearances at Anfield or one of 5. The crowd will know that uncertainty. They will support him regardless. And Salah, being the competitor he is, will respond to that support with the kind of performance that makes the farewell question feel premature. Saturday. Anfield. The King returns. 📅 Sat 11 Apr, 08:30 UTC | Anfield 🏆 GW30 | Salah Returns
