'I look forward to seeing you back' - Liverpool's Salah leads tributes to injured Aston Villa star Trezeguet

Liverpool talisman Mohamed Salah has joined Egypt internationals in sending messages to injured Aston Villa playmaker Mahmoud Trezeguet.

Trezeguet picked up an injury in Villa’s 2-1 Premier League loss to Liverpool on Saturday with Salah on target for the hosts at Anfield.

Towards the end of the encounter, the Egyptian winger went down following a tackle from match-winner Trent Alexander-Arnold which made him leave the field in tears.

Trezeguet, in a social media update, said he is yet to confirm the severity of the injury as he awaits his medical scan.

"Thank you all for your support, I appreciate your concern. Actually, I'm not quite sure about my injury," he wrote on Instagram.

However, his compatriots including Salah, Ahmed Hegazi and Ahmed Elmohamady alongside several African teammates have sent best wishes to the former Kasimpasa player.

After the match, manager Dean Smith expressed his worry about the latest injury blow to the 26-year-old who scored a brace in their 3-1 win over Fulham last week.

Trezeguet has played 21 league matches so far this season because of a head injury that ruled him out of action between December and January, and it is unknown yet if he will return to action before the end of the 2020-21.

“He certainly has (found form). He came on as a substitute and made an impact last week, scoring twice against Fulham,” Smith was quoted by Birmingham Live.

“He played well again today and played his part but unfortunately he’s gone off injured. We’re a little bit worried to see what the extent of the injury is.

“He’s a little bit upset but we’ll see over time.”

Salah wrote on Instagram: "I wish you a speedy recovery and will look forward to seeing you back on the field soon."

"Our Lord heals you my friend. God willing, you will return stronger than the first, with the will and determination that you have you will return stronger, with faith and contentment you will return stronger, always think that all of this will make you stronger after that, we are all behind you and on your side, my beloved," the Olympiacos star tweeted.
