Mohamed Salah sends message to Liverpool fans after confirmed news
Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah has taken to social media to share an image of himself and his daughter enjoying some time together after the derby against Everton was postponed.
The two rivals were set to face off in the first Merseyside derby of the season—and the last at Goodison Park—on Saturday (December 7), but the match was called off by the authorities at 8.30am on Saturday due to Storm Darragh.
Salah has been in the form of his life under Arne Slot this season, starting 19 of his 21 appearances across all competitions, scoring 15 goals, and providing 12 assists in 1703 minutes of action.
The winger’s 21 Premier League goal contributions lead the league, seven clear of Chelsea’s Cole Palmer in second place, accounting for an impressive 72 per cent of Liverpool’s total league goals.
Liverpool will remain top of the Premier League despite not playing this weekend, sitting seven points above second-placed Chelsea with 35 points.

Anfield legend Steven Gerrard is the only player to have scored more Premier League Merseyside derby goals, two more than Salah, who is on seven.
Sean Dyche and his struggling Everton side have seemingly been given a stay of execution, sitting five points above the relegation zone on 14.
According to the Telegraph, the match will likely be re-scheduled well into 2025, meaning Liverpool could benefit from multiple players, including Alisson Becker and Ibrahima Konate, returning from injury.
The Egypt international took to Instagram after the announcement to share an image of him and his daughter doing some arts and crafts.
Liverpool players will get an extra few day’s rest before they travel to Spain to face Girona in the Champions League on Tuesday (December 10).
