    The Liverpool pair must play carefully in their next three games or risk missing two games.

    During a crucial period of the season, two Liverpool players could be suspended before the Premier League expunges their records once more.

    According to Premier League regulations, a player receives two match bans in the same league if they receive 10 bookings in their first 32 Premier League games. Yellow cards do not transfer to domestic cup tournaments.

    But for the latter stretch of the run-in, the players’ slates will be cleared following the 32nd gameweek.

    There are still three games left until that amnesty, so two Liverpool players will need to be extra careful how they behave in the next games.

    The suspension risk for Liverpool

    With squad availability already being such a problem for Jurgen Klopp this season, Wataru Endo and Darwin Nunez are the players most at risk of receiving an unwelcome ban after receiving eight yellow cards between them for the season.

    Before they may unwind a little, the two must prevent receiving two more yellow cards apiece in the games against Crystal Palace (14/4), Manchester United (7/4) and Sheffield United (4/4).

    Depending on when it is acquired, a two-game suspension might mean that one or both of them miss the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park on 24/4.

    This season, both players have emerged as essential members of Jurgen Klopp’s squad: Nunez has established himself as the go-to central attacker when healthy, while Endo has surprised everyone by becoming the unwavering pillar in midfield.

    The Uruguayan has not received a booking in any of his previous four league games, maybe demonstrating self-control in an effort to avoid getting suspended. Though Endo has only received three in his previous six, yellow cards are more of a workplace risk for defensive midfielders.

    Although Liverpool supporters are anxiously awaiting the conclusion of the 32nd gameweek, positive news regarding the team’s returning stars is imminent.

    On Wednesday, Klopp disclosed that four players—Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Diogo Jota, and Stefan Bajcetic—are getting close to rejoining the club.

    The incredible off-field earnings of Liverpool star Mohamed Salah are disclosed in new records.

    Mohamed Salah is a Liverpool winger and Egypt international, but he has several more sources of income outside of football.

    Mohamed Salah is a Liverpool winger and Egypt international, but he has several more sources of income outside of football.

    Mohamed Salah, a top player for Liverpool, has made a significant profit from his business, according to new paperwork.

    After agreeing to a lucrative new contract with Liverpool in 2022, Salah, 31, already makes about £400,000 per week. This is due to his status as one of the Premier League’s greatest players after joining from Italian club Roma in 2017. However, the Egyptian winger’s income comes from sources more than merely the ball at his feet; his profits off the pitch also add to his fortune.

    In June 30, 2023, ‘Salah UK Commercial’ released their most recent financial statement, which shows that they made little over £5.4 million after taxes. The 31-year-old’s business ventures have flourished after he recovered an incredible £27 million through business transactions in just three years.

    Now that amount has surpassed £33 million, Salah will be able to use it as a nest egg in the future.

    According to the most recent filings, the Egypt captain, who also has partnerships with Pepsi, Adidas, Uber, and Vodafone, made £11 million from personal sponsorships alone in the previous tax year.

    Salah might have made even more money in his upcoming financial statements if Liverpool had chosen to sell him for £200 million last summer.

    Al-Ittihad, the reigning Saudi Arabian champions, reportedly offered him a deal worth an incredible £175 million a year in an attempt to make him the latest famous player to relocate to the Middle East.

    Although Salah is still one of Liverpool’s most vital players, his current contract expires in June 2025, therefore the Reds will need to plan for life without him.

    Salah’s future has come under scrutiny once more since manager Jurgen Klopp has decided to depart the team at the end of this season.

    Even with the rumours swirling and Saudi Arabia’s desire not abating, the attacker is adamant that Klopp’s exit will not affect his future at Anfield. “No, not at all. Life goes on. In an earlier this month interview with Sky Sports, Salah said to Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher, “It’s part of life now.”

    “Everything is in motion. The players have already departed from the club. Players of great importance left the team. The club also values the manager greatly, but he is departing. I will eventually leave the club, but it won’t affect my future because of Klopp’s departure.”

    When Salah was rumoured to be joining a Saudi Pro League team back in November, Klopp responded, saying, “Mo is here, Mo never came to me and wanted to go.” To be honest, I didn’t give it a second thought—should we sell or not, or anything else.”

    The Liverpool dressing room’s verdict on Jurgen Klopp's rebuild during summer window

    Liverpool signed players such as Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch this summer to remind Manchester City and Arsenal of their title credentials.

    Joel Matip believes Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool 2.0 has evolved into a different style – but the old mentality remains as strong as ever.

    The defender, who was Klopp’s second signing at Anfield when he signed on a pre-contract eight years ago, believes his character – which is the manager’s trademark – can produce trophies again. The Reds have not won a major trophy since the 2022 FA Cup.

    Speaking about Liverpool’s new look after a complete midfield reboot this summer, the veteran centre-back said: “It’s my eighth season (at Anfield) and the manager has tried to adapt our style during my time here .”

    “It’s not the same football we played six or seven years ago, so he’s adapting.” But he still tries to do it his way and I think it works quite well.
    All the new players have adapted well.
    Overall, our start to the season isn’t that bad.

    “But performance-wise, we’re not exactly where we want to be in the last 90-plus minutes.
    In the end, we’ve turned things around a lot and it’s good to know we still have the quality to do that.”

    For Matip, the new look of football, as Liverpool have evolved their passing style under Klopp, has already made an impression.
    Speaking about new signings Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister, he said: “Dom and Macca played almost all the time and did so brilliantly.

    “You can see that both playing with the ball and against the ball their adaptation has been fantastic – they have never really looked new here.”

    The defender also believes Klopp’s other summer midfield signings, Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch, have already shown promising signs despite being signed at the end of the transfer window with little time to adapt.

    “Wataru and Ryan arrived later, but they have already shown that they can help us too,” he explained to the club’s official website.
    “All the new players have done a fantastic job so far and I’m really looking forward to seeing them play.”

    And he believes there is a real chance of glory this season with Liverpool already showing signs of battle on four fronts, including keeping pace with champions Manchester City in the title race.
    “We have four competitions ahead of us and we want to be as successful as possible in each of them,” he explained.

    “We want to give everything, but no one knows what will happen in the end.
    We are just focusing on our next game and working hard to do the best we can there. This is my eighth season at Liverpool and I have always tried to do my best for the team.
    When I am needed, I want to be there and show my quality.

    Midfielder still a target for Liverpool in the summer transfer window.

    Manu Kone, a midfielder for Borussia Monchengladbach, was initially reportedly a target for Liverpool during the summer

    Manu Kone, a midfielder for Borussia Monchengladbach, was initially reportedly a target for Liverpool during the summer and the Reds are reportedly still interested in him.

    As Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all left Anfield, the Reds ultimately moved for different targets on that occasion, bringing in four new players in the form of Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch, and Wataru Endo.

    Bayern Munich are reportedly interested in Kone, while Liverpool’s interest in the player also appears to be ongoing, according to Daily Briefing columnist Christian Falk, who posted from his account on X.

    Falk asserts that Kone is still under the Merseyside giants’ radar in the passage below.

    It will be interesting to see whether Liverpool keeps making the rebuilding of their midfield a priority, or if they decide to turn their attention to other areas of their roster next.

    Since players like Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah aren’t getting any younger, they’ll soon need to be replaced with more long-term options.

    However, Kone is a great talent and one that other major clubs will probably be vying for as well, so it is definitely worth keeping an eye on
