His return to training puts any doubts to rest and he should regain his starting role alongside Virgil van Dijk in central defense, with Joe Gomez returning to his backup role after covering in the Chelsea fixture.","Player":{"FirstName":"Ibrahima","LastName":"Konate","Position":"D","Link":"https://www.rotowire.com/soccer/player/ibrahima-konate-24554","Id":"24554"},"Team":{"Name":"Liverpool","Id":"9"}},{"Id":"515882","DateTime":"2026-05-14 01:06:06.677","Priority":"1","IsTransaction":0,"Headline":"Available for minutes Friday","Notes":"Salah (hamstring) has been cleared and will be available for some minutes in Friday\u0027s clash against Aston Villa, according to coach Arne Slot. \"Mo will be available tomorrow for only a few minutes, but hopefully can come in.\"","Analysis":"Salah had been sidelined since late April with a hamstring tear and his return to fitness is a remarkable turnaround given the initial prognosis that he would likely miss the remainder of the season. The Egyptian star will be eased back carefully given the nature of the injury, but getting him on the pitch for even a few minutes against Aston Villa would be a fitting sendoff for a player set to leave Liverpool at the end of the season after nine trophy-filled years at Anfield.","Player":{"FirstName":"Mohamed","LastName":"Salah","Position":"F","Link":"https://www.rotowire.com/soccer/player/mohamed-salah-17384","Id":"17384"},"Team":{"Name":"Liverpool","Id":"9"}}]}
