Following Jürgen Klopp’s announcement that Diogo Jota would be out for several months and Alisson would be out “for the foreseeable,” Mohamed Salah has become Liverpool’s next injury concern.
Salah is doubtful for Luton’s trip to Anfield on Wednesday, even though he just returned from a month-long absence at Brentford on Saturday due to a hamstring injury. Earlier than anticipated, Liverpool’s top scorer was substituted for the injured Jota in the 44th minute of the 4-1 victory. However, following the game, he had hamstring fatigue.In preparation for Sunday’s Carabao Cup final, Klopp is certain that Salah won’t have to miss any more significant time out due to injury. Klopp has already missed Trent Alexander-Arnold, Curtis Jones, Jota, Thiago Alcântara, and potentially Dominik Szoboszlai. However, he issued a warning: “With Mo, it’s day by day as well. He experiences a slight sense of weariness in a comparable place. We must see how it progresses. It’s not crazy, but we still need to observe.
Due to the recurrence of a hamstring injury, Szoboszlai’s chances of playing Chelsea on Sunday are decreasing. The crucial midfielder has not returned to team training. Although Jota did not suffer a cruciate ligament damage at Brentford, Klopp stated that “it will obviously take months” and provided a negative update on Alisson’s hamstring issue. “It’s uncertain how long it will take, but it won’t be returning in the near future,” he declared.
Darwin Núñez was taken off the field as a precaution at halftime on Saturday; he should be available against Luton. Even with the growing number of injuries, Klopp maintains Liverpool cannot lament their bad luck or look for reasons to give up on winning the Premier League.The manager of Liverpool stated: “I want people to not be in a situation where they are like, ‘Oh he’s out, he’s out, he’s out.’ A couple of players will be out, that is definitely the case. Whatever line up we have tomorrow night.”
