Steven Gerrard was devastated to learn about Mohamed Salah's injury, which casts doubt over his Anfield farewell.
The Egyptian forward, who is set to leave Liverpool this summer after a trophy-laden nine-year spell, was forced off on the hour mark during the Premier League clash with Crystal Palace. Jeremie Frimpong replaced him, and the moment could prove to be his final appearance for the Reds, following a mutual agreement to terminate his contract early at the end of the season.
The severity of the situation was reflected by the reaction of Liverpool icon Steven Gerrard, who was at Wembley for the FA Cup semi-final between Manchester City and Southampton, where he appeared visibly affected by the news.
He said: "Yes it will be let's hope that's not the case. As Joe will tell you, until you get it really assessed by the medical team and you have an MRI on it, you don't really know the extent.
"But if that's the case and it is his last game it'll be extremely sad, not just for Mo, for everyone connected to Liverpool football club because he's been a legend and everyone wants to see him get the send off he deserves."
