Mohamed Salah nears return from injury ahead of Liverpool farewell

  • Mohamed Salah is set to return for Liverpool, having recovered from a hamstring injury that sidelined him for matches against Manchester United and Chelsea, making him available for their crucial fixture against Aston Villa on Friday.
  • Liverpool manager Arne Slot confirmed Salah's availability for "a few minutes" against Aston Villa, his final away match before leaving the club this summer, as both teams compete for a top-four Premier League finish, with fifth place also securing Champions League football.
  • Slot also provided updates on other players, stating that Ibrahima Konate is fit, Alisson has trained, but Florian Wirtz is dealing with a stomach infection and is on antibiotics.
  • The manager showed frustration when questioned about Alisson Becker's future, dismissing the queries as "boring" and reiterating that he would not discuss transfer speculation.
  • Andy Robertson will depart Liverpool this summer after nine years, with Slot commending the Scottish full-back for his significant impact and pioneering role in redefining the modern full-back position.
