Liverpool have had many problems with injuries this season. In recent months they lost key players like Andrew Robertson, Thiago Alcantara, Joel Matip, Konstantinos Tsimikas, Alexis MacAllister and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Some of them had less serious problems and have already returned to the field, like the Argentine midfielder, while others will have to wait a long time to play again.

Added to that was another problem: the call-ups of important players to represent their respective national teams in the Africa Cup of Nations and the Asia Cup, which will be played until the second week of February. Wataru Endo is away with Japan and Mohamed Salah is with Egypt. Therefore, The Reds will have to face several Premier League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup matches without them.

With this scenario, it is logical that coach Jurgen Klopp is worried. He must find solutions so that the team does not suffer the absences of these players and can continue to compete at the highest level. But there is one thing the German manager cannot control: injuries.

On Thursday, Egypt and Ghana drew 2-2 in the second matchday of the Africa Cup of Nations and Mohamed Salah had to be replaced at halftime due to physical problems. That worried everyone, as the winger is the big star of his national team and Liverpool. Fortunately, after the match he walked out of the stadium and even smiled, so it doesn't seem to be a serious injury.

This Friday Jurgen Klopp gave a press conference before Sunday's game vs Bournemouth and he spoke about Salah. He revealed his reaction to finding out what had happened: "Of course, it was in that moment a shock: 'Oh my God, what is it?'". Then he added: "There will be an ultrasound and they will do an MRI and then we will know what it is and then we will see what Egypt plans. But it's too early".
