EPL: Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah named PFA player of the month for March

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been named as the PFA player of the month for March.

The Egyptian scored six times in four matches against Newcastle, Manchester United, Watford and Crystal Palace over the month, while also adding an assist.

It is the fourth time this season Salah has won the award, which is voted on by the fans, having also collected it for November, December and February.

Salah, 25, sits as the Premier League’s top scorer with 29 goals, five more than Harry Kane in second place.

He sat out Saturday’s 0-0 draw against Everton after suffering a suspected groin injury in the 3-0 win over Manchester City in their Champions League quarter-final first leg on Wednesday.

However, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is optimistic the forward will be available for the second leg at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday.
