Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp hoping for a rejuvenated Mohamed Salah after break from Egypt duty
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp hopes the international break will have helped rejuvenate Mohamed Salah.The Reds star has gone seven games without a goal his longest barren run since joining the club in 2017.2

Mohamed Salah is in desperate need of a goal

But Salah was spared international duty with Egypt this month, giving him a fortnight without football.Salah will be looking to end his goal drought when Liverpool host Tottenham on Sunday. He found the net three times in two appearances against Spurs last season.Asked whether the forward had benefited from not having to travel for matches against Niger and Nigeria, Klopp said: “Oh, 100 per cent.“Of course if you can gain freshness in that time then that’s clear. “The boys never had a day off, actually. They always trained, but individually and not at the highest intensity, so that helps of course. Not only for Mo, for the others as well. All good.”Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has not played a first-team game in almost a year due to a knee injury, is edging closer to a return.The 25-year-old suffered a minor setback with a hamstring injury in his first competitive game for the Under-23s earlier this month.And Klopp says he regrets hyping up Oxlade-Chamberlains fitness.2

Oxlade-Chamberlain has been out since April 2018

He said: How can I say this? I think one of the biggest mistakes I made was being so excited about having Ox back.“I’m pretty sure Ox felt a little bit after the last session with us, and then he played the game and felt a little bit more, and everybody was looking at him.“So now we keep him a little bit more in the shadows, he’s in a pretty good moment, he will train, and when he is back and ready to be properly involved again, then I will inform you. Until then I will not speak about him.”
