Mohamed Salah’s absence from the starting lineup in the face of Galata Saray in the Champions League, and the loss of Liverpool with a goal without a response, opening the door for questions about the team’s ability to maintain its offensive balance during the coming period.
How did Liverpool appear in front of Galata Saray?
Liverpool lost to the Turkish Galata Saray with a goal scored by Victor Osimin from a penalty kick in the second round of the Champions League group stage. Salah entered as a substitute in the 62nd minute, but the team did not succeed in making a real danger against the opponent, which increased criticism about the weak offensive performance.
Why did the press considered Salah’s absence a crisis?
The British newspaper “Daily Mail” described the scene as a “warning bell” for Liverpool fans, noting that the team lacks offensive solutions in the absence of Salah. She confirmed that his expected absence during the upcoming African Nations Cup will double the suffering of the English team.
What are the matches that Salah might be absent?
The report made it clear that Salah might miss Liverpool in strong Premier League matches against Tottenham, Fulham, Arsenal and Wolverhampton, as well as the possibility of absence from meetings against Leeds United and Burnley. It may also be absent from decisive confrontations in the Champions League, the Carabau Cup and the FA Cup, if the Egyptian team continues in the tournament until its final rounds.
Is the number of absences up to 10 games?
According to the press estimates, the number of matches that Mohamed Salah will be absent from is 10 full meetings, which represents a difficult test for coach Arney Slot in managing the next stage and ensuring the continuation of competition for the championships.
