Salah has only featured in two matches for Liverpool in 2024 due to the Africa Cup of Nations and an unfortunate injury interrupting his domestic campaign. Despite briefly returning against Brentford on February 17 and scoring in that game, he has been sidelined with muscle fatigue since then.
Although Salah missed the Carabao Cup final and crucial Premier League fixtures, he is progressing towards full fitness. Klopp commented on the 31-year-old forward ahead of a Europa League clash with Sparta Prague, stating, “Mo travelled. He’s with us, he trained two days. Full of energy. We have to see but it’s so good that he’s back. It’s really good for us and you can see he’s very happy. A very unlucky situation [him] being out that long. He played an incredible game at Brentford and was then out again.”
Klopp emphasized the need for caution due to the intense period of the season but expressed optimism, saying, “We want to be careful and have to be careful but we are in the middle of a super-intense period of the season. We need everybody and now let’s see how long we can use him. That’s how it is with him and others as well. It’s just good news.”
With four games before the next international break, Klopp addressed concerns about Salah being called up by Egypt, stating, “That is nothing to do [with me] really. That will be decided in different departments. No, nothing to do with that. Let’s see how long he can play now. As I said, two days in team training – so, in a different situation players are not in the squad in this moment, but in our situation it makes sense. What can we give him? How much can we use him? We will see that. And then there are two games with Egypt, but it’s really not up to me or stuff like this, we are not really involved. That is discussed in other departments, let me say it like that.”
Salah has scored 19 goals this season, 15 of which came in the Premier League. He is eager to contribute to Liverpool’s pursuit of trophies amid ongoing speculation about a lucrative transfer to Saudi Arabia in the summer of 2024.
