Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp shares uplifting news regarding his squad’s condition as they prepare for Europa League action.
The highlight of the updates is the return of Mohamed Salah to the Liverpool squad, as he accompanied the team to Czechia for their encounter with Sparta Prague. The match is scheduled to kick off at 5:45pm UK time, marking Liverpool’s return to the Europa League last-16 tie.
In addition to Salah’s comeback, Dominik Szoboszlai’s presence is another positive note. Klopp appears relaxed about the possibility of the Hungarian international participating, possibly even starting, in Thursday’s match.
Szoboszlai, who has been sidelined due to a hamstring injury, made his return in Saturday’s dramatic Premier League victory over Nottingham Forest. While Klopp refrained from revealing whether Szoboszlai or Salah would start, he expressed satisfaction with their availability.
During the pre-match press conference on Wednesday, Klopp emphasized Szoboszlai’s eagerness to play and the challenges he faced during his recovery.
“It is good that he is back,” Klopp remarked. “Being injured was tough for him. It wasn’t about daily pain, but rather the inability to train properly due to the nature of muscle injuries. Therefore, we had to be cautious during his rehabilitation.”
Szoboszlai, who has impressed in his debut season at Anfield, appears to be fully fit and eager to contribute to Liverpool’s campaign as they enter the crucial stage of the season.
With Liverpool competing on multiple fronts, the return of key players like Salah and Szoboszlai is vital for the team’s prospects in the remaining matches.
