Liverpool will face Sandro Tonali’s Newcastle tonight Arne Slotin the conference, updated everyone on the conditions of Federico Chiesaclose to returning to the pitch: “He had a difficult start to the season and without him we don’t have a real replacement for Salah. The good thing is that both he and Harvey Elliott are coming back. Let’s hope Salah stays fit and continues to produce these numbers; naturally there is a bit of risk of injury, after all he is a human being too.”
Parting words from the Egyptian: “If he answered like that he probably knows more than us about the 115 charges against Manchester City and the fact that perhaps they won’t be in the Premier League next season, although I hope that there will be. The boring answer is always the same, no update on Salah’s contract situation.”
