If Mohamed Salah's injury is serious, it wouldn't be good for Liverpool. Losing their best players in a mid-season African Cup will end their leadership joy. Hamstring injuries can be serious.
The moment Liverpool make a mistake, Manchester City take the lead and never let it go. From then on, the balance in the Premier League will not change easily. City had given other teams enough advances. Liverpool and Arsenal couldn't use this well. They needed to collect more points. City with De Bruyne won't lose points easily anymore.
Mohamed Salah's injury during the match against Ghana was of course a big disaster for Liverpool and the Egyptian national team because Mohamed Salah is really relied on in Liverpool and the Egyptian national team, but I hope that Mohamed Salah recovers quickly from his injury.
Yes, it looks like Liverpool's position, which is currently at the top of the standings, could potentially be threatened and shifted by Manchester City if Jurgen Klopp can't come up with a good strategy. Of course, Jurgen Klopp will definitely be confused by Mohamed Salah's injury because Mohamed Salah is a player that Liverpool relies on.
Indeed Manchester City now seems to have a good chance to become champions again this season and now Manchester City looks to be performing well even without E. Haaland and Pep Guardiola are very good at developing strategies and now seem to want to shift Liverpool's position.
but of course Jurgen Klopp will definitely fight as hard as he can to maintain his position which is currently at the top of the standings and I am also sure that when Liverpool plays Bournemouth Liverpool will have the potential to win. But if Liverpool lose, of course Manchester City will have the potential to continue leading the standings.
There is still a difference in points between the two teams. Liverpool and Man City are also experiencing problems with losing their mainstay players. But Man City's condition is better because even though Haaland has to recover, there is Kevin de Bruyne who can return to playing in the team.
The match against Newcastle, which Man City won 2-3, looked comfortable for them even though Haaland was not in the team.
but still, I hope there will be some reality this season. and Man ity will not dominate too much. Liverpool is the only team that can be expected to stop Man City's dominance. I hope Liverpool can survive and continue playing well even without Salah.
