Jurgen Klopp dropped a Mohamed Salah replacement hint as Liverpool start the month with a double January dilemma. Klopp has joked that he hopes Mohamed Salah and Wataru Endo suffer premature international exits when pondering how to replace both players in his Liverpool starting XI. The pair both started in the Reds’ 4-2 victory over Newcastle United on New Year’s Day, but they will now likely be unavailable for Liverpool for over a month as they depart to represent Egypt and Japan in the African Cup of Nations and Asian Cup respectively. While Salah is unavailable, the rest of Liverpool’s attacking options are ready for action after the Reds recently welcomed back Diogo Jota from a hamstring injury. With Harvey Elliott also an option, Klopp hinted how he intends to replace the Egyptian this month. In this week’s Blood Red Podcast, Host Beth Lindop is joined by Theo Squires and Paul Gorst to discuss the up and coming FA Cup tie against Arsenal and what plans Klopp has for the January transfer window.
