Prior to Sunday’s crucial Premier League match between Liverpool and Arsenal, Mohamed Salah has provided a significant boost to Liverpool. Salah suffered a hamstring ιnjury during Egypt’s game at the Africa Cup of Nations, forcing him to return to Merseyside for treatment. While the exact timeline for his return was not specified, it was initially expected that he would be out for an extended period.
However, Salah has now offered a positive update on his fitness. He posted videos on his Instagram Story showing himself sprinting on one of Liverpool’s training fields. This indicates that his recovery is progressing well and a return to play may be imminent.
Despite the positive signs, it is uncertain whether Salah will be available for the match against Arsenal. Manager Jurgen Klopp decided to withdrаw him from the recent victory against Chelsea and he was unable to travel to the Emirates Stadium for the game. Klopp mentioned that Salah is not yet prepared and will be unavailable for both the upcoming match and the one following it. However, he reassured reporters that Salah’s ιnjury could have been worse and the healing process is being given the necessary time.
If Salah doesn’t make a surprising appearance on Sunday, there is a possibility that he could feature in the match against Burnley on February 10. A win against Arsenal would give Liverpool an eight-point advantage over the Gunners and deal a significant blоw to Arsenal’s title aspirations.
