Consequently, what happened?
With just four words, Ramy Abbas Issa, the player’s agent for Liverpool and Egypt, refuted an earlier report that suggested the player would be leaving the Reds. According to a report published in March 2023, the Egypt international would split up in the summer of 2023.

“You just don’t know,” Issa wrote in response to journalist Santi Aouna’s March 2023 X post, in which he shared his report for Footmercato.

In the summer of 2023, Salah was being pursued by a number of Saudi Pro League teams, with Al-Ittifaq making an enticing £150 million offer to sign him. However, the Reds at the time wouldn’t let him go. It was reported in December once more that the winger, who is unlikely to leave the Premier League in the middle of the season, is the target of a bid from Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr.

Liverpool defeated Arsenal to make a statement and guarantee their spot in the FA Cup round of 32.

Luis Diaz’s goal and Jakub Kiwior’s own goal late in the game proved to be the difference as the Reds defeated the Gunners 2-0 to win the competition for the first time in nearly 60 years.

Liverpool will now focus on the League Cup and Wednesday’s home first leg against Fulham in the semifinal. And here we look ahead to the changes Jurgen Klopp could make when his team are next in action.

Beck is back in the mix.

Although Klopp used a lot of rotation in the League Cup’s early going, he was more effective in the team’s victory over West Ham United in the quarterfinals just before Christmas. Furthermore, the long list of injured players raises the possibility that the Liverpool manager won’t have much leeway when playing Fulham.

Alisson Becker will be replaced in goal by League Cup veteran Caoimhin Kelleher. What happens at center back will depend on whether Virgil van Dijk recovers from the illness that kept him out against Arsenal. Ibrahima Konate and Jarell Quansah will be available to substitute once more, though Joel Matip’s season-long absence may make Joe Gomez a possibility. Nat Phillips has returned from a loan at Celtic and is back in training as well.

However, that will depend on Gomez staying at left-back because Owen Beck, who was recalled from his loan at Dundee in the Scottish Premiership, is now available after serving a historic one-match suspension. Young Luke Chambers was sitting on the bench at the Emirates, while Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas are both injured.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is the first choice at right-back, but Conor Bradley made a strong cameo last weekend, suggesting he is pushing for a starting role in case Alexander-Arnold is needed in midfield.

Jones query

Wataru Endo is away on international duty, so Alexis Mac Allister, who came back to Arsenal as the number six, is the only defensive midfielder available. While young James McConnell is in reserve, Curtis Jones and Alexander-Arnold both occasionally filled in at the position against Arsenal.

Jones has been starting the last few games on the left side of the midfield, ahead of Ryan Gravenberch. Over the weekend, Harvey Elliott moved from the right wing to his more comfortable position in the engine room, taking Cody Gakpo’s place on the right.

Trey Nyoni, 16, was one of the substitutes at the Emirates, and teenage Bobby Clark came off the bench. Stefan Bajcetic, Thiago Alcantara, and Dominik Szoboszlai are all benched.

Diaz, correct?

During the 90 minutes against Arsenal, Klopp showed that there are multiple ways to adapt to life without Mohamed Salah, some of which are more effective than others.

Gakpo, Diaz, Darwin Nunez, and Diogo Jota are the four senior forwards who can operate on the left wing; all but Diaz have also started on the right. Although Jota has also played in that position in the past, the Colombian was impressive when he was moved to the right in the second half on Sunday. Elliott and young Kaide Gordon are additional options.
