كلوب عن لاعب ليفربول المصاب: لست متأكدًا من مشاركته معنا مرة أخرى هذا الموسم

علق يورجن كلوب على الإصابات في فريق ليفربول، قبل مواجهة ساوثهامبتون، غدًا الأربعاء على ملعب أنفيلد رود، ضمن مباريات دور الـ16 من بطولة كأس الاتحاد الإنجليزي.

ويغيب عن ليفربول أكثر من 10 لاعبين على رأسهم النجم المصري محمد صلاح، ورغم ذلك حقق الريدز لقب كأس كاراباو مساء الأحد الماضي.

وقال كلوب في تصريحات بالمؤتمر الصحفي الخاص بالمباراة: “سيغيب جرافنبيرخ عن مواجهة الغد، يعاني من إصابة في أربطة القدم، كان من الممكن أن تكون أسوأ بكثير”.

وأضاف: “نحن بحاجة إلى معجزات مع عدد قليل من اللاعبين، لا أريد استبعاد أي شخص، لكن الأمر يتعلق بمران اليوم بشأن محمد صلاح وداروين نونيز ودومينيك سوبوسلاي”.

وأكمل: “لا يوجد جدول زمني لـ تياجو ألكانتارا، لا أعرف هل سيلعب معنا مرة أخرى هذا الموسم أم لا، لا أستطيع أن أقول المزيد عن ذلك”.

وواصل مدرب ليفربول: “بايتيتش يتدرب وفكرت لماذا لا يلعب (يضحك)، إنه يكتسب اللياقة البدنية لكنه لم يحصل على الضوء الأخضر للتدرب مع المجموعة والمشاركة في المباريات”.

وعن موقفه من حافلة الاحتفال بكأس كارباو في نهاية الموسم، قال كلوب: “لا أعتقد أن الأمر يبدو منطقيًا بالنسبة لي، أنا لا أقرر ذلك، ولكن إذا كان هناك عرضًا بالحافلة، سأكون على متن الحافلة بالتأكيد ولا شك في ذلك”.

واستكمل حديثه عن المصابين: “قد تفكر في التغييرات، لكن الخيار ليس بيدك، ما زال أمامنا ساعتان حتى موعد التدريب، وسنرى من سيصل من الأولاد للمشاركة في التدريبات”.

واختتم: “يمكنني أن أؤكد غياب إندو مع جرافنبيرخ غدًا أيضًا، لقد تعرض لضربة قوية ولا أعتقد أنه تحسن كثيرًا منذ يوم الأحد الماضي”.

Shamsher Yadav’s century in the first innings wasn’t enough for Services•PTI

Medium-pacer M Ravi Kiran took 4 for 32, as Hyderabad beat Services by ten wickets at the Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai.Ravi Kiran’s four-for on the final day completed Hyderabad’s comeback, who had scored 580 in the first innings, after being 141 for 6 on the first day. This 580 came in handy, as they were able to enforce the follow-on after removing Services’ last wicket in the first over of the final day, dismissing them for 360.Their medium-pacers then ran through Services’ top order, reducing them to 27 for 3 within 12 overs. First-innings centurion Shamsher Yadav (24) and G Rahul Singh (59) put on Services’ first resistance, adding 77 for the fourth wicket. But Ravi Kiran removed both of them in consecutive overs and Services were 117 for 5 in the 33rd over. Akash Bhandari broke the second resistance, a 60-run stand for the sixth wicket, and opened up Services’ tail, as they lost their last five wickets for 42 runs and were bowled out for 239.Hyderabad chased down the their target of 20 without losing a wicket, taking a bonus point in the process.Andhra defeated Tripura by an innings and 38 runs in Valsad as DP Vijaykumar and Bhargav Bhatt took four wickets each, to help them clinch the victory 58 overs into the day.Tripura started the day on 165 for 3, still trailing Andhra’s 524 by 188. In the seventh over of the day, overnight batsman Abhijit Dey was dismissed for 43. His partnership of 95 with Yashpal Singh (59) was the highest of the innings. The next four Tripura batsmen all made twenty-plus scores, but with no other significant partnerships they folded for 305 as Vijaykumar and Bhatt took all eight wickets to fall on the day. Andhra’s captain, Hanuma Vihari was the Man of the Match for his unbeaten 233 in the first innings.Goa fell 35 short of an outright win against Kerala at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai.Both teams showed a desire to win outright, starting with Kerala who began the day on 154 for 4. They added 103 in 21 overs, before declaring on 257 for 9 and setting a target of 315 in 63 overs. The declaration came after last man-in Fabid Ahmed smashed 22 runs off the four balls he faced, having come in after Iqbal Abdulla (37 off 27) was dismissed at the start of the 67th over. Medium-pacer Saurabh Bandekar accounted for the overnight batsmen, Rohan Prem (70) and Mohammed Azharuddeen (64) to finish with 5 for 70.Goa’s captain, Sagun Kamat, led their charge after opener Sumiran Amonkar was dismissed in the fifth over. He put on 111 at 4.13, for the second wicket with Swapnil Asnodkar (41), and 127 at 5.04, for the third with Snehal Kauthankar (41), before falling for a 176-ball 151 with Goa still needing 57. They only managed 22 in the four overs after, as the match ended in a draw.Himachal Pradesh survived an early scare to draw their match and take three points against Chhattisgarh in Kanpur.Chhattisgarh’s overnight batsman and stand-in captain Abhimanyu Chauhan, brought up his first century as a Chhattisgarh player, having begun the day on 69. He was dismissed for 109 with the score on 247, after helping Chhattisgarh add 72 to the overnight score of 175 for 4. Avnish Dhaliwal chipped in with 43, as they declared on 309 for 9, setting HP 234 to win.HP’s response began shakily, and after a 24-run opening stand, they lose four wickets in 13 overs to be reduced to 51 for 4. Robin Bist (20) endured along with Sumeet Varma (26) for a fifth-wicket stand that added 28 in 17.2 overs, as HP looked to hang on to a draw.They felt a second hiccup, when Ajay Mandal took two wickets in the 43rd over to reduce them t0 106 for 7. But Rishi Dhawan (41*) and Mayank Dagar (4*) hung on for the last 67 balls to secure a draw.Opener Shubham Khajuria’s unbeaten 110, along with Pranav Gupta’s 80 helped Jammu & Kashmir draw against Haryana in Cuttack after being asked to follow-on.J&K batted out the entire day after starting on their overnight score of 38 for 0. Opener Khajuria put on a 167-run partnership for the second wicket with Pranav, after his partner Umar Nazir had been dismissed for 38 in the first session. Pranav was dismissed in the 94th over and Owais Shah fell in the 99th, but J&K had done enough by then. Mohit Sharma, took all the wickets to fall, finishing with 3 for 21.

Neutral pitches in focus; Karnataka sort out Uthappa-Gautam quandary

ESPNcricinfo looks at some big talking points dhead of the second round of the 2016-17 Ranji Trophy matches

ESPNcricinfo staff12-Oct-2016

Robin Uthappa has said alternating keeping duties with CM Gautam last season taught him about team chemistry•PTI

Pitch imperfect?
The message from the BCCI may have been on uniformity in pitch preparation, but doubts over the neutral-venues concept continued to be raised after the opening round of the Ranji Trophy. The Mumbai-Tamil Nadu opener in Lahli, a marquee clash in Group A, finished in a little over two days, with 34 out of the 38 wickets to fall taken by the fast bowlers.”It was basically a very green pitch,” Abhishek Nayar, who made an unbeaten 45 to help Mumbai scrape home by two wickets, told ESPNcricinfo after the game. “Initially, there was a very thick covering of grass that made it very tough for stroke-play. What made things more difficult was the outfield was super slow, so getting boundaries was not easy.”It wasn’t too different in Ranchi, where Chhattisgarh beat Tripura by nine wickets. While Yashpal Singh, Tripura’s most experienced batsmen, termed it a “rubbish pitch”, Sulakshan Kulkarni, Chhattisgarh’s head coach, also wasn’t pleased with the surface despite his side recording a historic win. “The wicket was up and down right from the start,” he said. “You are supposed to have consistent bounce to begin with, but here it was scooting low and shooting up right from the start. There wasn’t a blade of grass. Surely better wickets can be prepared. What’s the use of playing on these kind of surfaces even after adopting neutral venues?”Maharashtra’s loss to Jharkhand at the Karnail Singh Stadium, which was banned from hosting first-class cricket for a year in 2012, also threw the spotlight on the 22 yards. Kedar Jadhav, who scored two half-centuries in a losing cause for Maharashtra, was fuming after the game. “If a match gets over in close to three days, it is not a good sign for cricket. It has to be a good quality pitch, where you get four days of competitive cricket,” he told the . “The result does not matter. The match has to last for four days. That is how the quality of cricket in general will rise.”Uthappa, Gautam swap no more
One of the reasons cited for possible discord within the Karnataka set-up during the 2015-16 Ranji Trophy was that of Robin Uthappa and CM Gautam, two of their most experienced players, being in the middle of an unwanted restructuring. Karnataka began to alternate wicketkeeping duties between Uthappa and Gautam at the behest of KSCA secretary Brijesh Patel in order to facilitate Uthappa’s return to international cricket as a wicketkeeper-batsman. The decision, which gave Karnataka’s batting coach J Arun Kumar “sleepless nights”, resulted in a bit of friction as Gautam confessed that switching between fielding and wicketkeeping was a “little irritating”.In a bid to return to winning ways, the team management has made it clear to both players about their roles this time around. “Last season was a learning for me; I understood a little more about team chemistry,” Uthappa told the . “The chemistry works with CM keeping, and I respect that. For me, it was learning, and I’ve accepted that learning and grown with that.”Shreyas, Shardul boost for Mumbai
Mumbai will be boosted by the returns of Shardul Thakur and Shreyas Iyer for their second match against Baroda in Delhi. Shardul was called up to the Indian team as a late replacement for Bhuvneshwar Kumar on the eve of Mumbai’s opening game against Tamil Nadu, while Shreyas, last season’s highest run-scorer, missed the match because of a quadriceps injury.Vijay and Harbhajan at NCA
M Vijay has been asked to report to the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore for a rehabilitation programme, and therefore will not be available to play for Tamil Nadu in the third round of the Ranji Trophy, starting October 20. The TNCA had earlier requested the BCCI to release Vijay, whose next international commitments, fitness permitting, will be the Test series against England, which starts on November 9 in Rajkot.Meanwhile, Harbhajan Singh, who was initially not named for just the first fixture, will not lead Punjab in the second round too. Harbhajan is currently at the NCA for a fitness assessment.

Celtic Eyeing 60 y/o Manager As Their "Priority" Target

Celtic have made West Ham United boss David Moyes their priority target to replace the outgoing Ange Postecoglou, according to journalist Santi Aouna.

Is Ange Postecoglou leaving Celtic?

Postecoglou has now been confirmed as the new Tottenham Hotspur manager, with the 57-year-old putting pen to paper on a four-year deal, and the Celtic board are now tasked with finding a suitable replacement.

Football Insider report that Manchester City assistant manager Enzo Maresca is emerging as a top target for the hoops, with club chiefs in the process of drawing up a shortlist of candidates who are capable of carrying on Postecoglou's impressive work.

Brendan Rodgers had been touted for a return to Glasgow, however The Scottish Sun report the Northern Irishman is not currently interested, as he wants to take some time away from the game before planning his next career move.

As such, Celtic have identified Moyes as their "priority" target to replace Postecoglou, according to a recent update from Foot Mercato journalist Santi Aouna on Twitter.

It remains to be seen whether West Ham are willing to part ways with their manager, who has led them to the final of the Europa Conference League, which is set to take place tomorrow night.

Should Celtic appoint David Moyes?

It is fair to say that Moyes has done a fantastic job with the Hammers, leading them to a sixth-place finish in the Premier League in the 2020-21 campaign, before following that up by finishing seventh in the following season.

Although the Hammers failed to reach their previous heights this season, finishing 14th, they have still managed to impress considerably on the European stage, reaching the Europa Conference League final.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is a big admirer of the Scot, recently saying: "He is a really nice guy, whenever I've met him he is a really good person. I like that he always finds a way – that makes a top manager. He gets a team going. It might not have worked out at United but that was the most difficult moment in history to take over."

David-Moyes

That said, the 60-year-old has been criticised at times, with Hammers fans growing frustrated with his negative tactics back in April, which means he would not be a like-for-like replacement for Postecoglou, who is known for his attacking style of play.

As such, while Moyes has been impressive in his role as West Ham boss, Celtic would be better off targeting a coach who is more accustomed to playing an expansive brand of football, to pick up where Postecoglou left off.

Strike rate is for bowlers in Tests – Kumble

India’s coach Anil Kumble has once again thrown his weight behind Cheteshwar Pujara, who had been spoken to by the team management about his strike rate

Sidharth Monga in Kolkata28-Sep-20162:59

‘Absolutely no pressure on Pujara’ – Kumble

India’s coach Anil Kumble has once again thrown his weight firmly behind Cheteshwar Pujara. Speaking strongly two days after Virat Kohli had verified former selector Sandeep Patil’s revelation that the team management had spoken to Pujara about his strike rate, Kumble said strike rate was relevant for bowlers in Test cricket, not batsmen. He went to the extent of saying he was satisfied with Pujara’s performance in the West Indies even though he was dropped for Rohit Sharma in the third Test.On slow pitches against a pretty defensive West Indies attack and field-sets Pujara scored 16 off 67 in Antigua and was run-out for 46 off 159 balls in Kingston before he was dropped. A top-order collapse resulted in his return to the side for the fourth Test, and India have played both Pujara and Rohit in the two Tests since then.”Even I’m a bit old-fashioned,” Kumble said when a journalist asked him about strike rates in Tests. “I know there is a lot of strike rate in the last eight years after the advent of T20. As far as I was playing, in Test cricket strike rates were mostly talked about for bowlers and not for batsmen. That’s how I like to look at it. In a team you need different characters, different quality players. Players whose skill sets are suited to different challenges that happen in a Test match. Because we’ve seen that that’s what happens in a Test match. That’s the beauty about Test cricket. From my point of view, as far as I am concerned, strike rates are relevant only for bowlers in Test matches.”Kumble complimented Pujara for seeing out a tough period of play in the first session of the series in the West Indies after Shannon Gabriel had removed M Vijay early with a bouncer that also injured his hand. By the time Pujara got out in the 28th over, the sting had been taken out of a limited West Indies attack.”I think you need to bat based on situations,” Kumble said. “Yes, Virat is right that someone like Pujara in the West Indies, probably on one occasion…and he only played two innings. And both those innings were relevant. Even in the first Test match, Vijay got out cheaply and then he and Shikhar [Dhawan] had a good partnership till lunch. That was crucial for the team, because we went into lunch losing only one wicket. And we all know the importance of the first session of a match that is the first Test of a series.”So the relevance of Pujara is extreme there. But I’m really surprised and a bit disappointed that this talk keeps coming up. As long as someone reads the situation and plays according to the situation, that’s what is expected of the team. And he is a very important cog in our team and in our plans. And he’s been successful and I know that he will continue to be successful.”Even in a different context Kumble continued to defend Pujara. With the inclusion of Gautam Gambhir in the Test squad as back-up opener, Kumble was asked if Pujara could breathe easy and not be asked to open in an emergency scenario. “I don’t think Pujara has ever breathed easily, from all you guys’ perspective and some people who are constantly watching him. At least from the team management and the team’s perspective, there is absolutely no pressure on Pujara.”And we’ve seen over the years his contribution. Even in the last Test match, we saw the importance of his contribution to the team’s cause. So I don’t see pressure on anyone in this team. The beauty about this squad is that there’s hardly any pressure on anyone, yes there is roles and responsibilities but there’s no pressure put on any player.”Even after coming back from the West Indies, where Pujara seemed under pressure to keep his place and lost it eventually, Kumble had reassured that Pujara was a vital part of the team. Since then, Pujara has scored a double-century and a century in Duleep Trophy, and two half-centuries on a difficult pitch in the Kanpur Test.

TalkSPORT Man Drops Interesting Man Utd Takeover Claim

Manchester United are in the midst of a takeover battle at Old Trafford and 'it could drag on' for some time yet, according to journalist Alex Crook.

What's the latest takeover news involving Manchester United?

According to The Mirror, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his petrochemicals firm INEOS are in pole position to buy Manchester United and are likely to clinch a deal at some point this month.

The report states that Ratcliffe wants to take a controlling stake while allowing Joel and Avram Glazer 'temporarily' retain a 20% stake in the club.

However, there is a clause to phase out Glazer family involvement in time, according to The Financial Times, who say that all six Glazers may stay on at the club but would be contractually bound to an agreement that would force them out in the coming years with INEOS purchasing their remaining shares.

As per Sky Sports News, Qatari businessman Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani has submitted what he has signalled will be his final bid to try and buy the Premier League giants.

Sheikh Jassim wants to acquire 100% control of Manchester United and is willing to clear £1 billion of club debt alongside ploughing money into infrastructure and other projects.

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, journalist Crook thinks that it favours the Glazer family to have the ownership situation 'drag on' at Old Trafford.

Crook said: “I think it suits the Glazers to have it dragging on. They’re effectively trying to get the two main parties to bid against each other. Obviously, there’s still a big suggestion that the Glazers don’t want to go at all, so I think it could drag on.”

Will Manchester United's recruitment be compromised by the takeover situation?

Manchester United do look to be in the market for signings this summer; however, it's hard to determine how much business will be done before the takeover situation has been resolved.

As per Football Insider, one man the Red Devils are in the hunt to add to their squad is Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount, who has 'agreed personal terms' over a move to Old Trafford, though both clubs are yet to agree on a fee for the England international.

Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount.

talkSPORT also understand that Manchester United are also keen to step up their interest for Atalanta wonderkid Rasmus Hojlund, with boss Erik Ten Hag keen to add two strikers to his squad in the off-season.

According to L'Equipe, Manchester United are pushing to complete the signing of Monaco defender Axel Disasi, indicating that the Red Devils could be set for a busy window if all goes to plan on the takeover front.

تقرير: الإصابة فأل حسن لـ محمد صلاح بعد العودة.. وعلى برينتفورد الحذر

قليل ما يغيب الدولي المصري محمد صلاح عن فريق ليفربول بسبب الإصابة منذ أن انضم للريدز في صيف 2017 قادمًا من روما الإيطالي.

الآن عاد ملك ليفربول إلى تدريبات الفريق، بعد غياب منذ يناير الماضي، بسبب الإصابة التي تعرض لها في مباراة مصر وغانا بدور المجموعات من بطولة كأس الأمم الإفريقية.

عاد محمد صلاح إلى ليفربول بعد نهاية دور المجموعات رغم عدم مشاركته في مواجهة كاب فيردي، وتدرب في صالة الألعاب الرياضية قبل أن ينتظم أخيرًا في التدريبات الجماعية.

اليوم ظهر محمد صلاح في التدريبات بالابتسامة التي يحب أن يراها جمهور ليفربول على وجه أسطورته الحية، وهداف الفريق، الذي غابت شمسه عن ملعب أنفيلد منذ مواجهة نيوكاسل 1 يناير الماضي.

عودة محمد صلاح إلى التدريبات الجماعية، تشير إلى اقترابه من المشاركة، وقد تكون مباراته الأولى بعد العودة هي برينتفورد يوم السبت المقبل على ملعب جتيش كومينيتي، في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

كما أسلفنا الذكر، فإن محمد صلاح قليلًا ما يغيب عن ليفربول، سواء للإصابة أو الإيقاف وكذلك الاستدعاء لأمم إفريقيا والتي تأتي في نصف الموسم.

ونرصد لكم في السطور التالية، ماذا فعل محمد صلاح مع ليفربول سابقًا في أول مباراة له بعد كل إصابة؟

موسم 2017\2018، المرة الأولى كان بسبب الإصابة ضد ليستر سيتي بتاريخ 30 ديسمبر وغادر المباراة في الدقيقة 83، ليغيب عن مواجهة بيرنلي التي تلتها، لكنه عاد سريعًا في مواجهة مانشستر سيتي 14 يناير 2018، وسجل هدفًا خرافيًا من منتصف الملعب، وصنع آخر.

الغياب الثاني كان عن ديربي ميرسيسايد ضد إيفرتون، بعدما تعرض لإصابة في ذهاب دور الثمانية من دوري أبطال أوروبا أمام مانشستر سيتي وغادر في الدقيقة 52.

فضل كلوب حينها إراحة النجم المصري رغم الجاهزية، من أجل أن يكون بكامل لياقته ضد مانشستر سيتي في إياب ربع نهائي دوري الأبطال. وهو ما حدث بالفعل، ليعود الفرعون المصري ويقصي فريق بيب جوارديولا بعدما سجل هدفًا في الفوز 2-1 بملعب الاتحاد.

في نفس الموسم أصيب محمد صلاح الإصابة الأشهر بعد تدخل سيرجيو راموس في نهائي دوري أبطال أوروبا ومغادرة مو من الشوط الأول.

تلك الإصابة في الكتف، كانت في آخر مباريات الريدز في الموسم، ولكن من تأثر بها كان المنتخب المصري، في أولى مبارياته ببطولة كأس العالم 2018 في روسيا، ضد أوروجواي، ليغيب محمد صلاح ويعود أمام أصحاب الأرض ويسجل هدف الفراعنة الوحيد من ركلة جزاء في الهزيمة 3-1.

موسم 2018\2019 لم يغب محمد صلاح عن أي مباراة في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، وشارك في الـ38 مباراة، وكانت إصابته في أكتوبر 2018 مع المنتخب المصري ضد إي سواتيني، في تصفيات كأس الأمم الإفريقية 2019، ليعود إلى الريدز بعدما تأكد غيابه عن لقاء الإياب.

كانت أولى مبارياته في الدوري الإنجليزي بعد العودة من الإصابة ضد هيدرسفيلد، وسجل هدف الفوز على ملعب جون سميث.

مع ليفربول تعرض لإصابة في مواجهة نيوكاسل بالجولة 37، أجبرته على مغادرة الملعب في الدقيقة 73، وغيابه عن إياب نصف نهائي دوري أبطال أوروبا أمام برشلونة، في المباراة التاريخية التي فاز بها الريدز 4-0، وظهر الملك المصري بقميصه الشهير ” never give up” الذي أصبح أيقونيًا بعد تلك الريمونتادا التاريخية.

لم يسجل محمد صلاح في مباراته الأولى بعد الإصابة والتي كانت ضد ولفرهامبتون، لكنه حصل بنهايتها على جائزة الحذاء الذهبي للدوري الإنجليزي بالتساوي مع ساديو ماني وأوباميانج.

وفي المباراة التالية سجل ضد توتنهام في نهائي دوري أبطال أوروبا، وجلب لقب ذات الأذنين بالفوز 2-0 بتسجيل ديفوك أوريجي الهدف الثاني.

في الموسم التالي، 2019\2020، غاب محمد صلاح عن مواجهة مانشستر يونايتد في 20 أكتوبر، بسبب الإصابة 5 أكتوبر في الكاحل ضد ليستر سيتي، قبل أن يعود أمام توتنهام 27 من الشهر ذاته، ويسجل هدفًا في فوز الريدز على سبيرز.

في نوفمبر، أصيب محمد صلاح أمام مانشستر سيتي في الكاحل، وغاب عن منتخب مصر وليفربول، حتى 30 نوفمبر، وشارك ضد برايتون لكنه غادر غاضبًا، بعدما قرر كلوب اقحام لالانا بدلًا منه، وكان يبدو عليه عدم التعافي بنسبة 100%، وهو ما جعله يغيب عن الديربي ضد إيفرتون.

عاد محمد صلاح أمام بورنموث وسجل هدفًا وصنع آخر، في فوز الريدز 3-0 بملعب فيتاليتي في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

غاب محمد صلاح عن مواجهة إيفرتون أيضًا في نفس الموسم لإصابته في التدريبات، قبل أن يعود ضد كريستال بالاس ويسجل ويصنع في الفوز 4-0 لـ ليفربول.

موسم 2020\2021، غاب محمد صلاح عن مواجهة ليستر سيتي في نوفمبر 2020، بسبب إصابته بـ فيروس كورونا، عندما كان في معسكر المنتخب المصري.

عاد بعد ذلك محمد صلاح في مواجهة برايتون، وسجل هدفًا في تعادل الريدز أمام طيور النورس.

في الموسم التالي 2021\2022، غاب محمد صلاح عن ليفربول بسبب الاستدعاء لقائمة منتخب مصر في أمم إفريقيا، وعندما عاد احتاج لـ 3 مباريات من أجل تسجيل أول أهدافه، وكان ضد نورويتش سيتي، بعدما فشل في زيارة شباك ليستر سيتي وبيرنلي.

في موسم 2022\2023، لم يتعرض النجم المصري لإصابات تمنعه من المشاركة، فلم تمنعه الإصابة أمام برايتون في النصف الأول من الموسم من المشاركة ضد كريستال بالاس.

في الموسم الحالي 2023\2024، غاب محمد صلاح كما ذكرنا عن ليفربول بسبب المشاركة مع المنتخب، ولكن الإصابة في الخلفية أجبرت أسطورة ليفربول للابتعاد أكثر عن المشاركة.

برينتفورد الآن قد يكون الضحية الجديدة للملك المصري، الذي دائمًا ما يعود أقوى بعد الإصابة والغياب، خاصة وأنه الفريق الذي خسر من الريدز بثلاثية نظيفة، كان لـ صلاح نصيب الأسد بتسجيله ثنائية.

Leeds: ‘Exciting’ Starlet Could Petrify The Championship

Leeds United's relegation has condemned them to at least another year of Championship football, just three years after they thought they had left that league for good.

Whilst their 2004 demotion came as a shock to most, their 16-year failure to return to the top flight surpassed all of these emotions. They had gone from a sleeping giant to a comatose one, and it felt like no matter what occurred they would never earn that romantic Premier League return.

That was until Marcelo Bielsa was appointed, and his magic enacted.

His team was steely and hard-working, completely enamoured with a hard-working philosophy that saw them dominate the division. It was the perfect storm, with Kalvin Phillips conducting from within its eye.

An academy graduate handed a show of faith in a league where the top-flight often send their youngsters to develop, he instead was allowed to learn on the job, quickly becoming their most influential player. That promotion year saw the 27-year-old maintain a 7.28 average rating, alongside 1.8 key passes and 2.6 tackles per game, via Sofascore.

Now, in an effort to repeat that feat at the first time of asking, perhaps they could once again seek to put their faith in the academy, with Sean McGurk surely high on the list for those deserving of a first-team berth.

Who is Sean McGurk?

His potential inclusion within the senior squad is made all the more likely given the expected exit of Luis Sinisterra, who The Athletic suggest could seek to move, with a reported release clause encouraging this. With the possibility of relegation now a reality, the Colombian will be a fine signing for someone out there should he find fitness.

After all, his tally of seven goals in all competitions, whilst slightly underwhelming, was largely marred by a lack of fitness throughout the term.

His failure to adapt to the physicality of the English game cost him, especially after the 23-year-old joined having hit 23 goals and 14 assists the season prior in Holland.

leeds-united-sam-allardyce

Although having posted numbers nowhere near this level, McGurk has remained one of Michael Skubala's most consistent performers from that left flank, with his six goal contributions in 17 games a solid return. He has been a mainstay in the side that recently earned promotion into the Premier League 1 Division 1.

Seeking to cut in from his wing onto that favoured right foot, the 20-year-old boasts similarly blistering pace and sought to outline his other outstanding attributes after joining the club in 2021: "People describe me as a player who is quite exciting, I like to create goals and score goals and I think that is the strongest part of my game."

Whilst that is yet to shine through in the U21s, perhaps a promotion into the senior squad could see him realise this potential at the Championship level. After all, it only takes the new manager to hand him a few starts to figure out whether he can terrorise the division.

With his frightening speed, quick feet and youthful energy, that is sure to be a given though.
