The news about Salah's injury is too exaggerated in my opinion even though if you look at the news that Egypt has done he is only a minor injury and will only miss 2 matches against Cape Verde and one other match if Egypt can qualify for the last 16 phase and actually isn't that a good thing for Liverpool because the player is not disproportionately large at this AFCON.
But indeed things like this will still have an effect because Salah will also definitely try harder and push himself more when it comes to the national team because this is a form of devotion to the country he loves so surely with him at AFCON then he will continue to push himself for Egypt until where there is no chance for him.

It should be a big concern for Mohamed Salah that players leaving Europe have adaptation problems because they have adjusted their entire system according to Europe. If there is a big incompatibility, Salah may not want to go to Saudi Arabia. For Liverpool, his departure could be a big problem. His place may not be filled easily.

Absolutely right, and I wasn't meaning that Liverpool would be the everything overarching favorite. As you said, it would bring the top teams a bit closer to each other (like Bayer, Milan and Liverpool), but I'd still say that the odds would probably be slightly in favor of Liverpool even if Salah was out. But we are not talking about a lot.

Leverkusen must be taken seriously and if they have their full team and no injuries, I think it would be a game with maybe 2%-3% advantage for Liverpool if they played against each other. But to be honest, I could be wrong about that and we will just see a game of two teams with equal strength. Bayern lost, Leverkusen now 7 points ahead in the Bundesliga and Bayern Munich got one more game to play.

It won't be easy to find a player who has the same quality, that is definitely something Liverpool considered before releasing M Salah to another club. In my opinion they have to do it from now on, they have to look for a replacement who can later be an ideal replacement for M Salah. Because it is not uncommon for a new club to look for a replacement player when the player has left the club, in the end they have difficulty finding a replacement.
For example, as happened with Real Madrid, when they released Benzema, until now they still haven't found a player who can replace his position well. They brought in Joselu, but he couldn't really become a worthy player to fill that void. Luckily they have productive players like Jude Bellingham so that when they have difficulties he is there to be a differentiator on the field.

No one can deny the fact that Mohammed Salah is one important player for Jurgen and his Liverpool side especially with his speed and intelligence upfront. Yes even though Liverpool have tried to maintain the winning streaks you’ll notice how they struggle to get the goals which they could have gotten at ease with Mo’s pace and intelligence.

 Now Mo is injured in the AFCON and though we don’t know how long he’ll be out but this is a huge blow to Liverpool especially for their title chase as they’ve got some big matches coming up. Liverpool haven’t yet found the perfect replacement for Mo Salah which is one reason they don’t want to let him out yet. His goal scoring ability and his intelligence to detect where and when  a pass will be dropped is one great thing they wouldn’t want to miss, right now they have to focus on getting good results even with his absence and hope he returns back quickly to help them with the title race.
 

Currently, I have never seen a report confirming that Liverpool have actually seen a potential replacement Mohammed Salah when he eventually leaves the club during the summer but considering the numerous young talented footballers that plays in Mohammed Salah's position, I think there's a possibility of finding some who'll perfectly replace the Egyptian when he finally leaves.

Jurgen Klopp is known as one of the most experienced managers of his generation and he's capable of moulding young talents into becoming great footballers just as we've seen in the past. Salah I think will definitely leave in the summer and when he leaves, I'm optimistic that Liverpool will as well get a player who'll perfectly replace him at the club

Talking about Salah's replacement I don't think there's any person Liverpool has found at the moment as a better replacement for Salah so till the end of the season he's still going to be in Liverpool except at the expiration of his contract neither him or Liverpool is willing for him to leave he's still going to stay, I still believe he's still got some time at Liverpool.

He age is yet to be a factor that will cause Liverpool to drop him because his performance is still at its peak he isn't showing any signs of age affecting him yet neither has his form drop and he has been a very vital and key player in Liverpool all along even up until he left to defend his country, he was still very vital in all Liverpool games where he featured ,he's still one very good player Liverpool has got and will not be willing to let go so soon except the need for such arises.

It seems to me that Liverpool will be more at the level of Bayer and Milan in this case. Salah for Liverpool is KDB for City and just recently we all saw how bad City is without KDB. But all this is just a theory, since judging by the news the injury turned out to be not serious and Salah will miss only two games. And by the way, if tomorrow Cape Verde shows integrity and plays Egypt seriously (despite the fact that they have already secured first place in the group), then Salah has a great chance of returning to the Premier League very quickly since Egypt only has two points and either Ghana or Mozambique could overtake them.

Yeps with the case of Sadio Mane he hasn't been well replaced, this is a player that knows how to create chances and also score goals in between during his time for the club. He was by far the most important for me but Liverpool management failed to give him his flowers he deserved.

Luiz Diaz good on the left wing but not that player than can get you ten to fifteen league goals in the Premier League for two to three seasons consistently.
Mo Salah! Selfish player but very good professional for Liverpool. His injury would hit Liverpool hard as it'll weaken them attacking shape.

In fact, this is what coaches fear when important players have to go to defend their country but come back injured and of course no coach would want this to happen but however a coach can't do anything and has to allow him to leave and now is not the right time for Klopp to regret all this, but now Klopp must try to find the right substitute who can replace Salah.
However, so far I haven't seen anyone with almost the same performance as Salah, but there is still an alternative to replace him with Jota for a while.
We don't need to worry about this because I see Andi has an injury that is not too serious so before the UEL match started Salah was certain to be able to appear with Liverpool again and I have to admit that this is a very serious problem and puts a lot of pressure on Klopp while some other players are also injured.

What is a factor to consider is that Salah has always been a player who makes opposing players and defenders focus on him so that he can create opportunities for other players to score goals. And if the opponent doesn't focus on mistakes then it will also be very dangerous because Salah can score goals from any situation. So this is something that makes Salah so special in the Liverpool game. So as you said, I'm also curious about how Liverpool will perform if Salah is absent.

Mohammed Salah is a very important player for the club. His absence certainly makes Jurgen Kloop worried that his club will experience decline because its attacking power has decreased because no one can replace Salah's role at the club. Liverpool have lost Sadio Mane and Liverpool also don't want to lose their key player who plays a big role in Liverpool's victory and hearing that Salah was injured is bad news for Liverpool because Salah will definitely be absent for several weeks. And it is not yet known whether Moh Salah's injury is serious or not.

Moh Salah has become a goal scoring machine for Liverpool and the passes he provides also really help other players in creating opportunities so as long as Salah is not in the starting Xl I am not sure Liverpool can maintain their winning record and stay in first place because Manchester City will definitely take advantage Liverpool's current situation is to continue to win and wait for Liverpool to slip from the top of the standings.

He was the key owned by liverpool to win any competition. Missing him is just another disaster for the club caused by salah has the most important role in the club. Klopp was getting shocked after he was hearing that news and this is why we don't like international match.
The most important players must be missing so many games and it was also putting the club into the disaster. People know that if salah has been top scorer after he was taking haaland's spot. Missing him is another disaster for liverpool.

Klopp needs to put him to be rotated with other player. Jota is ready to play on Salah's position. I know many people are feeling disappointed with this result.Liverpool will have some important games without salah. It will be costing the club a lot.
Liverpool will be in the disaster if the club will be missing some points. Manchester city has been coming back with the best squad as de bruyne has been also playing there again. This is another disaster if liverpool will be bottling it again.

Mohammed Salah without doubt is a very important member of the Liverpool squad as his contributions to the club's success over the years cannot be undermined but if he decides to leave the club at the end of the season, there's every possiblity that Liverpool are gonna find a good replacement for him. Since Sadio Mane left the club, Liverpool have not been as effective as they were when he was in the squad but I don't think that'll be applicable to Salah if he eventually leaves.

Salah is reported  to have received many offers from different Saudi clubs but is still weighing up his options before making his  final decision.

It is true that Salah has a huge role in Liverpool; yet Salah is an old winger and would be replaced soon by Liverpool anyways

The best opportunity would be to let go while making good amounts of money fit to get a quality replacement in the mold of Mohammed Salah.

Agree. Salah has a big role, Liverpool will decrease their attacking power significantly if Salah is leaving Liverpool. We must remember Liverpool performance is decreasing a lot when Mane left the club. I can't imagine if Salah leaves Liverpool, too. I doubt if Klopp can get a proper player to replace Salah's position. Klopp even failed to get a proper replacement of Mane.

We must remember that Salah contributed a lot in any match of Liverpool. Although he didn't always score goals but Salah makes the opponent's defenders feel worried. Salah attracted most of the opponent's defenders, it creates a chance for other Liverpool attackers to score goals. Without Salah, no any Liverpool attackers that seems scary for the opponent's defenders.

If Salah leaves Liverpool now, I'm sure Liverpool has no chance to win UEL trophy.

I agree with you, Liverpool isn't going to be weak almost immediately because Salah is absent, I always talk about the creative ability of Salah in most Liverpool games which have been the advantage they get having him around but that has never ment that they will not be able to play any well in his absence, they will play fine but will definitely miss the aspects where his creativity do come in.

Sometimes I think Salah even serves as a distraction to other team because while most of the defender's will be focused on him trying to stop him from scoring goals, he will be using that opportunity to create chances for others to score and win the game while their opponent keeps focus on him and lose the game, well the current curiosity most people have now is born out of the fact that since this season Liverpool have not played this long without Salah so they would want to see how we they will be able to perform in his absence for a few months.

Of course, with Salah's injury, some are happy and some are sad. The one who felt sad was of course Coach Kloop, he was initially worried about all this but in the end Salah was injured. What makes us happy is of course Liverpool's opponents in the European League and of course Man City is also happy. because losing Salah had a big impact on Liverpool's game, especially in scoring goals. Losing Salah also made those who predicted that Liverpool would be favorites to win the Europa League title become doubtful because Liverpool lost strength on the front lines.

And news is circulating that Salah has a hamstring injury, it looks like he has to rest for at least 6 weeks. But I hope this is just speculation. I still hope he can come back. Because this is also a big loss for Egypt of course.

If Liverpool's opponents were Bournemouth and Fulhan in the EPL, I don't think Liverpool would have much difficulty winning, because the two teams don't have a strength that is as balanced as Liverpool, even though Liverpool itself is a team that relies heavily on Salah in every match. However, everyone will probably be quite curious about Liverpool's performance without Salah in it, although I myself still don't think that Liverpool will immediately become weak without Salah.

You can look at AS Roma's statistics, since Mourinho handled this team. AS Roma has never entered the top 4 of the Serie A standings. Let's be realistic, in this season before Mourinho was fired, AS Roma's position was in 9th place. they appeared very inconsistent, especially in three different events, AS Roma was unable to produce maximum points. in 20 matches in the domestic league, Roma was only able to achieve 8 wins, 5 draws and 7 defeats. It seems that the club management's expectations and targets for this season are at least to be able to finish in 4th place in the Serie A standings. However, Mourinho is having difficulty getting his team to progress smoothly. in the end, the coach was fired by the AS Roma club board. While AS Roma advanced to the final stage of this competition last season, in fact their performance did not show a good game. Even in several particularly crucial matches, AS Roma was only able to win Ugly, including, against Leverkusen.

We know that Jose Mourinho is an experienced coach and has had many achievements with several top European league clubs. However, it seems that Mourinho's glory days are over. in fact, it is not uncommon for him to always apply the pattern that is his mainstay in crucial matches. so, it was not an arbitrary decision made by the club board to replace him with another coach. IMO, with the current new coach it would be very illogical to be forced to reach the Champions League zone. Whoever the trainer is, will always need adaptation first, including trainers who have very high experience requirements. Unless AS Roma is filled with squad depth that is capable in all lines, this might be possible.

Well, in fact what you say is still only based on mere assumptions and speculation. After all, De Rossi just made his debut with AS Roma against Verona. The results were quite good, Roma played quite impressively and won the match with a score of 2-1. a good debut for a novice coach, at least for De Rossi. We'll see, their next matches, especially the crucial matches against Intermilan and Feyenoord in the Europa League.
