Manchester City are certainly very happy to hear this news and hope that Mohammed Salah will be absent for quite a long time. They can more easily take advantage of Liverpool's current situation and at any time can displace Liverpool at the top of the standings. De Bruyne's return is an improvement in performance for Manchester City and the absence of Mohammed Salah will be a disaster for Liverpool.
Salah's predicted injury is a hamstring injury. I think it won't be too serious. In the short term, the Egyptian team will be directly affected if Salah is absent. As for Liverpool, their schedule this January is not too heavy, they only have to play one match in the Premier League against Bournemouth. That's why Liverpool can completely give Salah the right to rest in the next few weeks if he is unfortunately injured. The Premier League championship race still has a long way to go. This is just a temporary shortfall for Liverpool. Mancity should not be too hasty to rejoice and lose focus.
While Liverpool is going to have a match against Bournemouth and this can be a very important game for them because of the situation they have. but there is the possibility for Liverpool to play without Salah in this game because it seems he got injured.
Even Klopp was worried about his player and he said Salah was never asking for substitution to leave the field and seeing this player in this situation made him talk about this player.
Against Bournemouth tomorrow, I expect Liverpool to convincingly win Bournemouth and claim all three points from that particular game. Mohammed Salah who's been the club's best player for almost the last decade is currently participating in the CAF African Cup Of Nations and will be absent in the game but I still expect Liverpool to win.
