The player who will return earlier than expected is not Salah

Gradually, the Liverpool team has been recovering each of its stars who for some reason or another have missed some games with the team, but, although the improvements of Thiago Alcantara, Andrew Robertson and Mohamed Salah have caused joy to all the fans, they are more excited about the return of their Japanese midfielder, Wataru Endo, a player who unfortunately ended his participation in the Asian Cup after falling in the quarter-final round against Iran.

It is true that the Reds' fans would have preferred not to have had their player for a couple more days in exchange for seeing him lift one of the most important cups their country can win, his early elimination being a failure for the Japanese team, which was expected to fight until the final.

Despite the laments of the Liverpool fans, they are somewhat excited with the return of their player, being placed by the vast majority as one of the undisputed starters for the game they will have on February 10 against Burnley, there being no great room for relaxation for a player who is believed to be an undisputed starter for Klopp.

The return of the Japanese player is of great help for a Liverpool team that will have to face a great series of matches during this second month of 2024, having in between a total of 4 consecutive Premier League matches, to then face the great final of the Carabao Cup against Chelsea, closing the participation of Klopp's men in February with the fifth round of the FA CUP against an opponent that has not yet been confirmed but that could be Watford or Southampton.
