I’ll Be Careful With Salah’s Fitness Henceforth – Klopp

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has come out to say that he’ll be careful with Mohamed Salah’s fitness henceforth. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the Egyptian forward has already travelled with Liverpool ahead of the UEL game vs Sparta Prague, but he intends to ease him in gradually in the coming weeks.

Klopp added that Salah is currently full of energy, and it was unlucky for him to have experienced an injury relapse weeks back.

His words, “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.

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.”

On Egypt, “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.”

WOW.

Liverpool Football Club is a professional football club based in Liverpool, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. Founded in 1892, the club joined the Football League the following year and has played its home games at Anfield since its formation.

Domestically, the club has won 19 league titles, eight FA Cups, a record nine League Cups and 16 FA Community Shields. In international competitions, the club has won six European Cups, three UEFA Cups, four UEFA Super Cups—all English records—and one FIFA Club World Cup.

The club established itself as a major force in domestic and European football in the 1970s and 1980s, when Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan and Kenny Dalglish, led the club to a combined 11 League titles and four European Cups. Liverpool won two further European Cups in 2005 and 2019 under the management of Rafael Benítez and Jürgen Klopp, respectively; the latter led Liverpool to a 19th league title in 2020, the club’s first during the Premier League era.

Anfield was built in 1884 on land adjacent to Stanley Park. Situated 2 miles (3 km) from Liverpool city centre, it was originally used by Everton before the club moved to Goodison Park after a dispute over rent with Anfield owner John Houlding. Left with an empty ground, Houlding founded Liverpool in 1892 and the club has played at Anfield ever since. The capacity of the stadium at the time was 20,000, although only 100 spectators attended Liverpool’s first match at Anfield.
