Overview
- Arne Slot said Friday that Mohamed Salah will miss Sunday’s trip to Old Trafford with a minor muscle injury but is expected to return before the season ends.
- Alisson Becker has not yet trained with the squad and is described as very close, which keeps Freddie Woodman in line to start with Giorgi Mamardashvili unavailable.
- Liverpool’s options remain thin, with long-term absences that include Hugo Ekitike after Achilles surgery, plus Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni and Wataru Endo.
- A Liverpool win would move them above Manchester United in the table and strengthen their push to lock in Champions League qualification.
- Salah is widely reported to be leaving this summer, raising interest in a late-season send-off once he is fit to play again.
