The Reds need to collect three points. Because if they fail again in this event, the chance of overtaking Manchester City and Arsenal is very high. Therefore, in this match, Jurgen Klopp will have to focus on his team to come back and show their strong level again. After losing his performance in the “Gunners” match
However, in group training on Thursday, Al Kop fans may not be feeling too good as Mohamed Salah is still unable to train with his teammates. Meanwhile, there are also some key players who are not in the practice squad.
1. I still haven't seen Salah training with the team.
One of the hopes of Reds fans is to see Mohamed Salah fully fit and return to chasing the opponent's net in the weekend match. But it seems that their hopes are still within reach.
Pang Mo was one of seven senior players not on the training field on Thursday. The reason is that players are still undergoing a personal training program in the gym. But in a positive sign, players recently posted pictures on social media showing off their physiques.
The “King of Egypt” did not help the team in two important matches, which were the collapse match. Chelsea “Blue Lions” lost the match to Arsenal “The Gunners”. As for the match against Burnley, it is still uncertain whether star number 11 will participate or not. This work must continue.
2. Where did Bradley Gomez go?
At the moment, we have to admit that the “Reds” are suffering from a crisis with their main players affected by many injuries, the latest of which is Thiago Alcantara’s injury again (muscle). This work was made by Klopp. The maps must hold their temples again, of course, as they did not Thiago and Dominik Subozlai (hamstring) are able to train with the team, meanwhile, Connor Bradley did not train because he was still coping with the loss of my father last week.
Meanwhile, Joe Gomez, who has received huge praise for his ability to play in multiple positions in defence, especially left-back, I haven't seen that in training either. The reason for the player's disappearance has not yet been revealed.
Klopp also revealed that the conditions of Joel Matip (anterior cruciate ligament), Stefan Pisetic (calf) and Ben Cook (knee sprain) are still in the treatment process, take a long time for your body to recover.
3. Many rising stars join training.
Liverpool defender and many midfielders, and this is what makes the German man great and it was necessary to bring in young players from the academy to train with the first team at the AXA training center.
All of the young Swans, including Bobby Clarke, James McConnell and Cade Gordon, played for the first team. – He participates continuously in training with the first team.
While fellow rising stars like Luis Koumas, Jayden Danes, Callum Scanlon, Trey Nyonyi and Cornel Mesquior are the goalkeepers of the near future. The 'leader' got the opportunity to join in training with the senior players as well.
Naturally, this was a golden opportunity for them to gain experience from their elders. And if they perform well, they have a chance to become a key player like Bradley, Jarrell Quansah or Trent Alexander-Arnold.
4. Endo returns to work at full strength.
During the period when Liverpool were without Wataru Endo, the team's performance may not have been so chaotic, but it left Klopp with few options in midfield and resulted in Alexis McAllister having to carry the heavy load alone.
Nowadays the best football player from the Land of the Rising Sun has returned to join the “Red” army. After completing his mission with the Japanese national team, which did not reach their dream when they lost to Iran and were eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Asian Cup in Qatar.
I must say that Endo came back in time. Because they are facing a crisis in midfield due to Subozlai and Thiago affected by injuries. Therefore, in the match against Burnley, of course, Klopp will immediately use stars with Bushido blood and make the team's midfield more stable.
5. Who will replace Konate?
Although Ibrahima Konate joined the team's training last Thursday. But he certainly has no right to help the agency. Due to his one-match ban, he received two yellow cards in the defeat to Arsenal last weekend.
French star showed outstanding form, even in the match with Arsenal, “Ibbou” performed well. Unfortunately, he missed the sending off, leaving Klopp having to do a lot of homework on who to use alongside Virgil van Dijk.
If they follow the mat, Quansah is bound to be another rising star who was given a chance by the 'Boss' and has shown excellent results this season. But I'm not sure if Gomez doesn't have any problems. He can return to training with the team on Friday. This event could see him paired with the Dutch captain returning and Andrew Robertson taking over the left-back position.
