Just before Egypt’s AFCON knockout games, Mohamed Salah promised to do “everything possible” to go back on the field after a hamstring ιnjury.
It is unclear how long the 31-year-old Liverpool player will be out of commission after being substituted in last Thursday’s 2-2 draw between Egypt and Ghana. Ahmed Hassan, a former captain of the Pharaohs, said that the forward should have remained to back up his teammates after returning to England for treatment. After manager Jurgen Klopp praised Salah as the “most loyal Egyptian he’d ever met,” the ex-Roma player has offered supporters hope.
“As we had previously agreed, I began my treatment and rehabilitation program yesterday (Wednesday), and I intend to do all in my power to be fully prepared and reunited with the national team as soon as possible,” he tweeted. Egypt and its people are also very special to me.
His addition of “Try harder” seemed like a jab at his critics.With nine assists and eighteen goals in 27 games for Liverpool this season, Salah is on fire. Even if Egypt might lose before the final, Salah’s participation in the competition is still up in the air as the AFCON continues until February 11. Liverpool are competing on numerous fronts this season, so fans will be hoping their top player isn’t absent for too long.Egypt, who finished second in their group after three consecutive draws, will face DR Congo in Sunday’s round of 16. They will be hoping to advance to the next round with a victory. On February 2, the quarterfinals will be played between Equatorial Guinea and Guinea, depending on who emerged victorious.
Two players will be loaned out by Liverpool as Klopp gets ready to fire the “incredible” talent
Two of Liverpool’s finest players will be traded in January, according to head coach Jurgen Klopp.The Daily Mail (h/t Mirror) reports that Jurgen Klopp is reportedly not impressed with Liverpool star Nat Phillips, as the club is getting ready to loan him and Calvin Ramsay out before the month comes to a close. The 26-year-old center back has had a tough time breаking into the starting lineup at Anfield.
Phillips played a significant role for the club throughout the 2020–21 campaign. The English defender, however, fell out of favor upon superstar Virgil van Dijk’s return to the lineup and has since battled for playing time. He will soon be back on the field after returning from a loan stint at Celtic.
Conversely, the team’s performance has been improved by Calvin Ramsay. Despite Jurgen Klopp’s strong praise, he has only played in two games for Liverpool. The 20-year-old is supposedly being courted by Leeds United; here’s hoping he thrives in a new environment, away from Anfield. When he returns, fans will be hoping he makes a big splash.Meanwhile, Nat Phillips is reportedly being courted by a number of clubs, including Cardiff City FC, Blackburn Rovers, Leeds United, and others. Ramsay and Phillips are both in the running to play for Leeds this year, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
The 26-year-old’s contract is set to expire next year. Time is running out for him to establish his worth. The English defender’s performance while on loan could influence Jurgen Klopp’s decision to offer Phillips a new contract.Nevertheless, Liverpool may be inclined to incorporate a buy-out clause into Nat Phillips’ loan agreement due to his dismal performance as of late.
With a five-point lead over Manchester City, Liverpool is atop the Premier League standings. The Reds appear set to win the Premier League again this season.
