Mohamed Salah gives Liverpool big injury scare
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah is injured.
That’s the word coming out of Liverpool training after Mohamed Salah sat out of an internal, 11vs11 training match.
Ingy Fahmy wrote in KingFut that the Egyptian missed out of the game due to an injury, and was among a small cohort of players to watch from the sidelines.
Liverpool could now face the prospect of starting their campaign without one of their key players, just days after turning down Timo Werner because of financial concerns.
Could we see Xherdan Shaqiri, who has problems of his own, or Harvey Elliott taking to the field when Jurgen Klopp names his first post-COVID team?
Thankfully, it doesn’t appear as if Salah will be out for too long. The KingFut article noticed that Salah was missing as a precaution.
But we’ve seen small injuries spiral into bigger ones before.

This period of football is going to be incredibly stressful from a physiological point of views. The intensity of the games, combined with the long rest period and short ‘preseason’ will lead to an increase in injuries as players are forced to perform at a high level without the right amount of preparation.
Luckily, Salah isn’t one who has historically struggled. If this breaking news was about Naby Keita being forced out of the practise game because of fitness issues, we’d be viewing this very differently.
Keita seems to have picked up a glass skeleton since moving to England and we’re yet to see the Guinea international at his consistent best.
Liverpool will play Everton on June 21, which will be a 7pm Sunday kick off, followed by matches against Crystal Palace and Manchester City.
By the City game, the Premier League title could be wrapped up.
If Arsenal beat Pep Guardiola’s side and Liverpool beat Everton (very likely), Klopp will lift the title at Goodison Park.

Otherwise, it’ll be a home win against Palace that seals the deal and one that may turn the City clash into a dead rubber.
