Shortly after half-time, Salah went down holding his groin and received treatment from Liverpool's medical staff before heading down the tunnel.
Salah was then replaced by Gini Wijnaldum and is likely to be a major doubt for this weekend’s Merseyside derby versus Everton and next week’s second leg at the Etihad.
BBC Radio 5 live pundit Robbie Savage said: “You wonder how bad that groin injury might be for Mo Salah.
“He has walked off, so it could be precautionary, but potentially a huge blow to Liverpool.”
