Burnley’s Dara O’Shea equalized just before half-time but the Reds held on until seven minutes into the second half to win. Liverpool are leading with 54 points, while Arsenal are third with 52 points. Meanwhile, Manchester City are level on points with second-placed Arsenal but ahead of both their title rivals.
Next game against Brentford.Despite Salah’s absence against Burnley at Anfield, Liverpool managed to win. However, as evidenced by his recent Instagram Stories, the possibility of Salah’s return would certainly give Jurgen Klopp’s side a boost in their title quest.
Salah gave fans a glimpse into his recovery process by posting four photos over a three-hour period on his Instagram Story on Sunday morning and afternoon. His gym workouts included resistance training and agility training designed to test his ability to move in small spaces.Ahead of Liverpool’s game with Chelsea, Klopp spoke about Salah’s condition. He said, “Do what you can, and while you’re doing it, we have to wait outside until it’s done. Mo is not ready for this game, or the next game, or the one after that. He was injured.
I don’t know if it was a mistake from the beginning. Muscle injuries take time. “It could have been a lot worse.”Salah missed the Premier League games against Bournemouth, Chelsea, Arsenal and Burnley but hopes to return for the Carabao Cup final. Liverpool are preparing for their next match against Brentford on Saturday. This game is scheduled to start early.
