Liverpool is bracing for the departures of mohamed salah and wataru endo to the african cup of nations and asian cup, respectively. On his return from injury, the reds earned three points away at burnley on boxing day thanks to goals from darwin nunez and diogo jota. Despite a mistake that almost brought the game level, liverpool endo’s strong displays continued, giving them a crucial boost with their top goalscorer set to miss a series of matches. Jurgen klopp has been praised for his japanese international, who admitted that his rise to form came at the worst possible moment with the asian cup in qatar just weeks away.
Salah, on the other hand, has had a good run for liverpool in all competitions, scoring 16 goals in 26 games. He will fly to the ivory coast, hoping to put klopp’s side in a solid premier league title race.
