Salah will miss the match against Luton due to injury recurrence – media

There was information that the forward Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah suffered a recurrence of a recent injury, due to which he will not be able to play in the home match against Luton February 21.

However, it is not yet known how long the Egyptian will be out for long, and whether he will have time to recover in time for the English League Cup final against Chelsea, which will take place next Sunday at Wembley.

Let us remind you that Salah suffered a hip injury during the second round match of the 2023 African Cup of Nations against Ghana (2:2). Mohamed was initially expected to miss several days. However, a deeper examination showed that the forward would need a break of about a month.

The 31-year-old winger recovered faster than expected – on February 17, he came on as a substitute in the away Premier League match against Brentford (4:1), replacing the injured Diogo Jota. During the time allotted to him, the Egyptian managed to become the hero of the meeting, scoring a goal and an assist. In total, he has 19 goals scored and 10 assists in 28 matches of the season in all competitions.

Currently in the Reds’ hospital, in addition to Salah and Jota, are goalkeeper Alisson, defenders Joel Matip, Rhys Williams and Trent Alexander-Arnold, midfielders Dominik Szoboszlai, Curtis Jones, Stefan Bajcetic and Thiago Alcantara, as well as young striker Ben Doak.

Liverpool leads the Premier League standings, two points ahead of Arsenal and four points ahead of Manchester City (the city has a game in hand). Tomorrow, February 21, at 21:30 Kyiv time, Jurgen Klopp’s team will host Luton (18th place).
