Mohamed Salah has left the club and manager Jurgen Klopp is looking for solutions

Mohamed Salah has left the club and manager Jurgen Klopp is looking for solutions. Coach Jürgen Klopp will be without the 'Pharaoh', who will defend his country's colours in the tournament that starts on 13 January and ends on 11 February, for several weeks. Liverpool's concern is due to the fact that they are losing the goalscoring power that 'Mo' has had this season, having scored 14 goals and eight assists in the Premier League and 18 in all competitions, making him the team's top scorer in the campaign, which is why attacking players like Colombian Luis Diaz, Uruguayan Darwin Nunez and Portuguese Diogo Jota are being called upon to make up for Salah's goals.

In an effort to cope without Mohamed Salah, Klopp indicated that he would be forced to "be creative" and that it was a revamped front line, having initially played Gakpo in midfield and Elliott at right-back. The German tactician must look for solutions to avoid missing the Egyptian and is considering several changes to his formation ahead of the upcoming Premier League games.

It is not ruled out that the Englishman Harvey Elliott will occupy the right wing, taking advantage of his left-footed profile as he did on Wednesday in the match against Fulham, or that the Portuguese Diogo Jota will be sacrificed to occupy that place where Liverpool are lacking players. Currently, the Reds are fighting on all fronts: they are top of the Premier League with 45 points, one step away from the League Cup final, top of their group in the Europa League and advanced in the FA Cup.

Klopp's solution

But for Wednesday's game against Fulham, Jurgen Klopp seems to have found Salah's natural replacement in the form of Darwin Nunez, who is not playing as a centre-forward but on the wing alongside Diogo Jota and Colombian Luis Diaz in the attacking trident. The Uruguayan came on in place of Elliott and provided two assists.
