Liverpool vs Leicester City (PL) 19.15 Sunday 22 Nov.

OK for Atalanta then but not Leicester.

With Salah not showing any symptoms for coronavirus, Egypt are confident that he will return a negative test when he is next tested on Thursday.
Egyptian Ministry of Health's COVID-19 committee head Hossam Hosny says Salah will be able to return to Liverpool should he return a negative test.
“Salah is currently in El-Gouna to complete his quarantine and he will conduct another PCR test on Thursday, and I expect that his result will be negative because until now, the player hasn’t shown any symptoms,” he said.


Premier League protocols dictate that a player must quarantine for 10 days following a positive test.

Those rules apply regardless of where the initial coronavirus test was taken.
The player would then be retested on the 10th day, with a negative result meaning they could return to training.
Reports from Egypt suggest Salah had his tests towards the end of last week - meaning that the Leicester game would still fall within the 10 days of isolation stipulated by the Premier League.

Some of the Liverpool squad were put through their paces today in Kirkby as the club's brand new AXA Training Centre opened officially. With many of Jurgen Klopp's squad away on international duty, it was far from a full complement although the likes of Joel Matip, James Milner, Divock Origi, Adrian and Nat Phillips were all pictured.

There was no sign however of Thiago Alcantara or Fabinho, both of whom are thought to be nearing fitness after injury lay-offs.
Manager Jurgen Klopp indicated before the international break that he was hopeful the pair would soon be back in action.

They were not pictured in Tuesday's training session but given the size of the club's impressive new facility it is possible they may have training out of sight of the cameras.

Another Liverpool injury scare? Rhys Williams left out of England U21s clash as a ‘precaution’ with Reds running out of centre-backs.

Oh we're getting fucking bummed.

Time to roll out the gypsy woman for some rituals near the corner flags at the Kop end.

Just take Vardy out of the game with a proper challenge.
We should win with ten if they are without him.

Coote has been removed from VAR duty

 

[Gary25]

Thiago STILL not back in training. Lol

 

[RedStar]

His injury record wasnt great before he joined us, this was always the risk. He seems like ome of those players who will not play unless he believes he is 100% fit.

Some people on here were up in arms when I had the audacity to call him a sicknote a few weeks back.

 

[Hansern]

Thats because it just weird to call someone a sicknote after he nearly broke his leg from a horrific tackle.

 

[MomoWASright]

Being out for a month after this isn’t really unexpected

Yet he was fine to continue on in the game? Look at his injury record.

 

[MomoWASright]

Van Dijk walked round the pitch.

 

[Bradley]

Fucking Everton.

I stand by this.

Sicknote is picking up constant niggles, like Matip or Lovern.

This poor bastard nearly got broken in half.

 

[Gary25]

Van Dijk walked round the pitch.

No correlation between that and doing his ACL. Thiago's was an impact injury. One which over a month later, he still hasn't recovered from.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Or, considering his past injury record, & the fact that if a player plays as he recovers from an injury he is much more likely to have a different injury as result, the medical team are making damn sure he's 100% before playing him.

Also, I'm convinced that Williams, Robbo, & Hendo were all pulled by the club, not due to injury.

 

[Bradley]

There was talk on the Anfield Wrap that Thiago might well have trained but in a different area and wasn't seen because the new training place is much bigger. Purely speculation.

 

[Markeh]

They gave Robertson 90 fucking minutes didn’t they

Steve Clarke you’re an arsehole

Wtf? Thought he'd been pulled out?

 

[Modo]

Wtf? Thought he'd been pulled out?

Feels like a "that's what she said" reply would be fitting.
Anyway, they played 3 games. Robbo didnt play the 2nd game.

 

[Hansern]

But 90 mins away to Israel. Thats such a stupid decision. Thankfully no international games until March now.

 

[MomoWASright]

Wtf? Thought he'd been pulled out?

They played 3, FUCKING THREE, pointless international games and he played 2. This whole 2 weeks has been a disaster. An absolute abomination of a decision by FIFA and UEFA.

 

[Hansern]

1 of the games was the play off final wasnt it? The first game? That wasnt pointless. The other two could have been binned off.
Playing Nations league games is so stupid that its beyond belief.

It was international footy.

Ergo, pointless.

During a global pandemic, dangerous, stupid, as well as pointless.

Absolutly, it was beyond stupid.
Latest count was 32 cases from 12 countries or something. And there will be more.

Ridiculous. We really need this Greek fella to step in and play a few games soon.
