Mohamed Salah will be on the bench on Wednesday

Mohamed Salah was not in the starting lineup on Wednesday as Diaz, Mane and Jota were selected instead.

What did Klopp say about Salah?

The Egyptian footballer is on the bench on Wednesday against Arsenal. His place was taken by Luis Diaz, Sadio Mane and Diogo Jota. German manager Jurgen Klopp explained the decision as related to the recovery of Mohamed Salah’s foot injury, as the player was sidelined in training this week.

Jurgen Klopp said that Mohamed Salah did it, but he only had one practice session. Salah can come as a replacement really well.

According to Klopp they have the ability to make changes. Keita is in a very good moment, but they have the ability to make these changes, so they have to use the boys when they are ready. Thiago is ready. Klopp thought it would be right for today.

Arsenal Mikel Arteta didn’t think Egyptian footballer Mo Salah on the bench mattered to his plans. Arteta said that with the players they have, they can play in different formations and ways, so he doesn’t think it will make a difference.

A little about Mohamed Salah

Mohamed was substituted shortly after scoring Liverpool’s second goal at the Amex Stadium, after which Klopp confirmed that the Egyptian player had overstretched his leg. Jurgen also lamented how often Liverpool star Mohamed Salah is overgrown without blowing the whistle by the referees.

Jurgen Klopp was absolutely crazy about how low the number of fouls against him is that the referee doesn’t whistle. So Mohamed Salah has constant contact from the defenders and he goes down all the time, has to get up again, something like that.

Mohamed was last used as a substitute on 10 February against Leicester City when he played 31 minutes off the bench shortly after returning from duty in the African Cup of Nations. This is his only replacement appearance in 2021-22.
