It's really bad if Salah's injury takes a long time to recover, it will affect Liverpool performance so bad, this will make Manchester City high likely to win the Premier League. Although Liverpool can won in their recent match, but without Salah they're not really strong.
Manchester City is only need De Bruyne to perform good, Haaland can be replaced with other striker.
Its reason why Liverpool manager dislike with AFCON play on middle competition not at the end, with potential Mohamad Salah have long term injury will make Liverpool on difficult position for winning Premier League this season.
I don't sure Liverpool have consistency winning games without Salah and have many matches left not only in Premier League but also Liverpool want to win UEFA Europe League trophy.
Jurgen Klopp have confirmed to media he doesn't know well about Salah injury and how many weeks need to recovery, actually is not happy information for him with Liverpool in the winning trend and potential for winning domestic league this season but if Salah have absent until the end this season will difficult opportunity for Liverpool to be the domestic league winner.
