The star from Egypt suffered an unfortunate ιnjᴜry during his time representing his country at the Africa Cup of Nations. Following the setback, he came back to England for necessary medical attention, revealing that the muscular issue was more severe than initially anticipated.
Salah’s last appearance for Liverpool came on New Year’s Day, when he bagged a brace in a 4-2 victory over Newcastle, but he has returned to the training ground this week and could see more game time in a trip to Brentford. Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has said: “Mo is back in full training. That brings him automatically into contention.”
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp provided an update on the team’s squad, stating positive news regarding the return of several key players. Ibrahima Konate, Joe Gomez, Conor Bradley, and Alisson are all available for selection. However, Klopp mentioned that Thiago Alcantara and Trent Alexander-Arnold remain sidelined due to ιnjᴜries. Klopp emphasized the club’s cautious approach, highlighting that they do not force players back prematurely to avoid setbacks. Alexander-Arnold’s absence has been extended due to setbacks in his recovery.
Liverpool enters the upcoming Premier League fixtures leading the table. With a narrow two-point advantage over reigning champions Manchester City, who have a game in hand, having three-time Golden Boot winner Salah back is a significant boost for Liverpool as they aim to maintain their position and gather momentum.
