LIVERPOOL
Arne Slot repeated the prognosis that Liverpool gave on Mohamed Salah (hamstring) earlier this week – that the Egyptian’s muscle issue is relatively minor and that he’ll feature again this season.
“Usually, he’s earlier fit than other players after a minor injury, because he has a minor injury. We expect him, indeed, to be back in the final part of the season, but not for Sunday.” – Arne Slot on Mohamed Salah
Elsewhere, Alisson (muscle) is yet to train but is not ruled out of Sunday’s trip to Manchester United.
“Ali hasn’t trained with us yet. [He is] very close to training with us, so I have to hear today from the medical staff if he is able to train today or either tomorrow or otherwise, the start of next week.
“He is very close but, of course, also we don’t want to take any risk, because that’s never what you do with a player and that’s also not what we do now.
“I think there’s a difference between a goalkeeper and [an outfield] player. If a player hasn’t trained for a few weeks, players need to run much more than goalkeepers do. I don’t think the issue with a player is when he’s out for four or five weeks that he forgot to know how to play football. It’s usually that the fitness levels are not at the levels to play at this intensity that the Premier League is asking. So, there’s a difference between a goalkeeper and an outfield player.” – Arne Slot on Alisson
Milos Kerkez has “had some niggles” and exited training on Wednesday but Slot says he should be back on the grass ahead of Gameweek 35.
“Milos has had some niggles, left the training pitch… on Wednesday. But I expect him to either train today or tomorrow.” – Arne Slot on Milos Kerkez
NEWCASTLE UNITED
Anthony Gordon (hip) has rejoined training this week and a late call will be made on his involvement.
“He did part of the session on Wednesday, great to see him back and on the pitch.
“We’ll make an assessment on his fitness closer to the game, we’ll see how he gets through today.” – Eddie Howe on Anthony Gordon
Tino Livramento (thigh), Fabian Schar (ankle/foot) and Emil Krafth (knee) are still out.
“We hope he can get back to full fitness before the end of the season.” – Eddie Howe on Fabian Schar
Joelinton returns from a two-game ban.
“He’s got that mentality that we need more of from more of the group. You see it from him every day in training. He’s the one setting the standards in terms of that aspect. So, when he’s not playing, we certainly miss something of his unique qualities.
“It’ll be great to have him back available. He’s a huge player for us in a number of positions.” – Eddie Howe on Joelinton
