Liverpool’s fit Mohamed Salah is the latest to fall victim to the curse of international duty. The player has tested positive for coronavirus.
As the saying goes … “When it rains heavily!” Anfield went from a shower of blessings and successes to a hurricane of worry and despair so quickly. A week of losses starting from their last Premier League match (Manchester City 1-1 Liverpool) where they lost Trent Alexander-Arnold to a four-week injury.
After laying his head down to sleep a couple of nights in a row, the next big hit hit the Merseysiders, kind of like a punch. Jurgen Klopp suffered another defeat in their defensive ranks. Joe Gomez was declared injured while on duty in the field. One report was injured and the next, he had a successful knee operation.
Then came the coup de grace (well, the Reds will have their fingers crossed, hoping that this is the last straw and that they have now endured all their difficulties this season, they say that everything happens three by three) Mohamed Salah has contracted COVID-19 and will do so about to make the match by returning to the Premier League next weekend, November 22.
That is if it requires the minimum number of days of isolation for the infection to pass.
Salah will isolate himself in his home country, Egypt
According to Liverpool inside man James Pearce, the striker will proceed to serve his self-isolation in his homeland in Egypt for approximately seven days. This will see him arrive in England on the shores of Merseyside on Friday for the first time.
The player tested positive after attending a family wedding, according to reports. Thereafter, the Egyptian FA examined the player and found that he was infected with coronavirus.
The Egyptian winger is showing no symptoms therefore further tests and a somewhat positive sign will be done.
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah tested positive for Covid-19, the Egyptian Football Association announced.
The governing body said a medical swab taken from the 28-year-old tested positive, but said the player was not suffering from any symptoms. The EFA said Salah was now isolating himself and would be “subject to further controls in the next few hours.”
There have been several cases of hits and misses, where the player was a positive day, the next negative. Jurgen Klopp and the rest of the team hope this will be the case for Mo Salah, their top scorer of the season so far.
Mo himself is said to be optimistic about his COVID case and believes he will be able to participate in Sunday’s clash at Anfield. They welcome the team that sits one point above them and at the top of the table, Leicester City.
Positive tests should not leave the 28-year-old aside for long, as long as he remains asymptomatic or develops only mild symptoms. Liverpool will not play again until their Premier League meeting with Leicester on 22 November. (Via: theguardian.com)
Hit after hit, the mighty reds still stand their ground
Blows to the body Blows to the head Hit in the stomach. Blows to both eyes causing cuts to each Liverpool eyelid when considering their injury crisis occurring in the early stages of the season. Some bruises are healing while others leave them unable to operate 100%.
Interestingly, the team has still overcome all the challenges so far. A clean slate in the Champions League with nine accumulated points after the first round was completed. They scored a total of eight goals in the round without conceding a single goal.
Despite a 7-2 loss, the Reds have made their case as champions of England. Already defeating Arsenal, Chelsea – picking up draws again Everton and Manchester City and the rest, all victories.
This was achieved all the time without key figures. Klopp is about to make a statement with all these lucky ones. Can you do the impossible and show that you can do it with the right mindset installed across the field?
