Liverpool fans can breathe a sigh of relief as Mohamed Salah continues his promising recovery from his hamstring injury. The Egyptian forward sustained the injury while playing for his country in the Africa Cup of Nations, and it was initially feared that he would be unable to feature again until the final of the competition. However, with Egypt being knocked out at the last 16 stage, Salah has been able to focus on his recovery and make a return for his beloved club.
Liverpool’s No. 11 has taken to social media to share his progress, posting an image on Twitter showing him running at the AXA Training Centre. The club also shared the post, expressing their optimism with a simple caption: “Recovery work continues for @MoSalah.”
However, it is important to remember that Salah’s injury “takes time,” as emphasized by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp. He explained that Salah is unlikely to be in contention for the upcoming match against Burnley and that the injury requires patience. Based on the timelines provided by Salah’s agent, Ramy Abbas Issa, and Klopp’s comments, it is estimated that Salah could make his return for the lunchtime trip to Brentford on February 17.
Liverpool has already witnessed the return of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Andy Robertson, and Dominik Szoboszlai from injury during their recent match against Norwich. The potential addition of Wataru Endo, who is expected to return from the Asian Cup, and Salah would provide another significant boost to the team.
Despite Salah’s absence, Liverpool remains competitive on all fronts. They have the potential for 29 more fixtures between now and the end of the season. Salah, who is comfortably the club’s top scorer this season with 18 goals in all competitions, is likely to extend his remarkable six-year streak of scoring at least 20 goals every season since joining Liverpool.
Liverpool fans eagerly await Salah’s return, knowing that his presence on the field will greatly enhance their chances of success. The club’s depth and resilience have been tested throughout the season, but with key players returning from injury and Salah on the path to recovery, Liverpool can remain confident in their pursuit of silverware.
