Liverpool fans, get ready to welcome back a familiar face. Mo Salah is set to make his return to the squad this Friday night as the Reds take on Aston Villa—and the timing couldn't be more exciting.
The Egyptian King, who will bid farewell to Anfield at the end of the season, has been sidelined for the past two matches due to a muscle injury. But according to manager Arne Slot, Salah is ready to rejoin the action, albeit in a limited role. "Mo will be available tomorrow, but only for a few minutes. Hopefully, he can come in and make an impact," Slot shared.
Salah's return adds a spark to a Liverpool side that's been navigating a busy schedule. While his minutes may be brief, even a short cameo from the prolific forward could shift the momentum against a tough Villa side.
In other team news, defender Ibrahima Konate has been given the green light to play. "Ibou is okay, he trained with us," Slot confirmed, offering a boost to the backline. However, there are lingering concerns over goalkeeper Alisson and midfielder Florian Wirtz. "Alisson trained with us again—let's see tomorrow whether he's ready or has to wait one more week," the boss added. Meanwhile, Wirtz is dealing with a stomach infection and is on antibiotics, making his availability uncertain. "Let's see if he's ready to play tomorrow," Slot said.
For Liverpool supporters, this match is more than just a fixture—it's a chance to see a club legend in action one more time before his departure. Whether it's a brief appearance or a full shift, Salah's presence on the pitch is always a moment to savor. Grab your Reds gear and tune in Friday night for what promises to be an emotional and thrilling encounter at Anfield.
