Liverpool’s top scorer, Mohamed Salah, is set to make a comeback in the upcoming Premier League game against Brentford, confirmed head coach Jurgen Klopp. Salah, who has been out of action since New Year’s Day due to a hamstring injury, has returned to full training and is in contention for the match on Saturday. This comes as a significant boost for Liverpool, with goalkeeper Alisson ruled out of the game after sustaining an injury during training.
Salah’s return to the squad brings a wave of optimism as he has been a key player for Liverpool, scoring 14 goals and providing eight assists in the Premier League this season. Klopp expressed his confidence in Salah’s readiness, stating, “Mo is back in full training that brings him automatically into contention, of course.”
Aside from Salah’s potential comeback, Liverpool received further positive news with Ibrahima Konate’s return from suspension and Joe Gomez’s recovery from injury. Conor Bradley is also back in the squad following the tragic loss of his father. However, the team will still be without the likes of Thiago Alcantara and Trent Alexander-Arnold, who remain sidelined due to their respective injuries.
While Liverpool’s prospects are looking up with the return of key players, Klopp expressed doubts about the availability of Dominik Szoboszlai for the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea on February 25. Additionally, Klopp addressed concerns regarding Alexander-Arnold’s knee problem, dismissing suggestions that the player was rushed back from a previous injury.
As Liverpool gears up for the crucial match against Brentford, fans are eager to see Salah back in action and make an impact for the team. With the race for the Premier League title heating up, Liverpool will be looking to secure a vital win and maintain their position in the standings.
