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.
Liverpool is under pressure now because of the competition in the league table now as any failure to win Bournemouth today might really cost them the top of the table because for now Arsenal, Aston Villa and Manchester city are following up Liverpool with all alacrity so should Liverpool drop points now they might be giving either of the teams behind them in the table an edge to move to the top of the league table so Jorgen Klopp needs to be up and doing and make sure that his boys wins Bournemouth today in other for them to still maintain the gap a bit. I think Salah is on injury and had it been he was fit he would have participated on international duty for Egypt but hopefully he will be back on his fit soon.
