Liverpool’s Egyptian star Mohamed Salah could be set to make a starting appearance for the Reds as they prepare to face Sparta Prague in their upcoming fixture.
The prolific winger has been grappling with an injury concern ever since his participation in the African Cup of Nations.
Salah made a cameo appearance off the bench during Liverpool’s recent Premier League clash against Manchester City, but now, manager Jurgen Klopp suggests that the talismanic forward is ready to take on a more prominent role.
Speaking at Wednesday’s pre-match press conference, Klopp indicated Salah’s readiness, stating, “He is ready.
He is top fit, everything is good now, and we don’t have to deal with these kinds of things anymore.”
While Klopp expressed caution about pushing Salah for a full 90 minutes, he confirmed that the Egyptian international is prepared to start against Sparta Prague.
Klopp emphasized the importance of managing Salah’s return carefully, considering his significance to the team.
Salah’s return to the starting lineup will be a significant boost for Liverpool, given his pivotal role in their attacking setup.
Klopp acknowledged Salah’s eagerness to contribute but stressed the need for a measured approach to reintegrating him into the squad.
Reflecting on Salah’s availability, Klopp remarked, “Would he have loved to play a little bit longer? Probably, yes, but I cannot before the game decide when we do what and these kinds of things. But he’s ready to start.”
Salah’s potential inclusion from the start against Sparta Prague signals Liverpool’s intent to capitalize on his attacking prowess as they pursue success on multiple fronts.
As Liverpool fans eagerly anticipate Salah’s return to the starting lineup, Klopp’s cautious optimism offers reassurance that the talismanic forward’s comeback is being carefully managed to ensure his sustained contribution to the team’s campaign.
