Liverpool star provides some Salah Injury hope

There was no definitive update, but there was enough to suggest that Salah’s season may not yet be over. In a campaign shaped by inconsistency, his presence for even one more appearance would carry both sporting and symbolic weight.

Control, composure and crucial points

Liverpool’s performance itself was largely assured. They dictated play, created chances, and responded well after conceding what Robertson described as a “strange goal”.

Looking back, he said, “We were in control, then we go and conceded a bit of a strange goal. You hope the right result comes and we are the ones who go and score the next one and the three points stay with us.”

That control reflects a side rediscovering rhythm at a critical stage. The table now shows Liverpool in fourth, with momentum building at precisely the right time.

Personal moments amid collective ambition

Robertson’s goal, a sharp finish that doubled the lead, carried its own narrative.

“It was like a striker’s finish, wasn’t it. Maybe I need to sit Alex [Isak] and Hugo [Ekitike] down after that! Delighted I could score and get 2-0 up. It’s always nice scoring, especially at home.”

Yet even in celebration, there is an awareness of what lies ahead. Departures, transitions, and uncertainty hover over the final weeks.

“When you’re reigning champions, we believe we had a squad to compete and when you don’t, there’s always going to be noise. This football club belongs in the Champions League so it’s important we put a run together to achieve that.”

For Liverpool, the objective is clear. For Salah and Robertson, the remaining games carry something deeper, a chance to shape the closing lines of their story at Anfield.
