“Winger Confirmed Out for 10 Weeks as Liverpool vs Fulham Team News is Revealed”

Fulham manager Marco Silva provided an injury update ahead of their Premier League match against Liverpool.

Silva acknowledged that Fulham will not have any players returning for their upcoming trip to Liverpool.

Liverpool will host Fulham at Anfield on Saturday (3pm GMT), aiming to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to seven points. Head coach Arne Slot will be pushing for improvements from his team after expressing dissatisfaction with their performance in a 1-0 Champions League win over Girona.

Fulham has had a strong start to the season, sitting 10th in the league after a 1-1 draw with Arsenal last weekend. However, they will travel to Merseyside without key defenders Calvin Bassey, who is serving a one-match suspension, and Joachim Andersen (calf injury). Additionally, captain Tom Cairney is completing the final match of a three-game ban, Harrison Reed remains unavailable, and on-loan Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson is sidelined for 10 weeks.

At his pre-match press conference, Silva said: “No fresh news really, just Joachim and Harrison Reed, plus Reiss Nelson from the game we played against Brighton. They are going to be out, and of course, the third game of Tom Cairney’s suspension, plus the fifth yellow card from Calvin Bassey.”

He continued: “It is difficult to have a really precise time in this situation. I believe that Joa probably is going to be the closest one to come [back] but 100% not this week. Harrison Reed, we have to see, step by step. Reiss Nelson is going to be longer. Difficult to say when he’s going to be back. Probably around 10 weeks.”

Regarding Liverpool, Silva stated: “They’re the most consistent team in this league so far and are strong in any moment of the game. They make life difficult for any team they play. They’re great in terms of collective quality, the impact of the manager and individual quality. Everything together is why they are top of the league.”

“I’ve been in that situation before” – Alan Shearer shares bold prediction for Mohamed Salah at Liverpool

Mohamed Salah has scored in seven consecutive Premier League matches and will aim to extend that streak when Liverpool faces Everton on Saturday.

Alan Shearer has endorsed Salah’s chances of breaking Jamie Vardy’s Premier League scoring streak record. The Egyptian winger has found the net in seven straight league games and needs to score in five more to surpass Vardy, who set the record in 2015 by breaking Ruud van Nistelrooy’s previous streak.

Vardy, now 37, scored in 11 consecutive matches during Leicester City’s title-winning 2015/16 season, surpassing van Nistelrooy’s 10-match run. His goals came against Bournemouth, Aston Villa, Stoke, Arsenal, Norwich, Southampton, Crystal Palace, West Brom, Watford, Newcastle, and Manchester United.

Salah, now on a seven-match streak, is closing in on Vardy’s record. He began his run with a goal against Chelsea and has followed it up with goals against Arsenal, Brighton, Aston Villa, Southampton, Manchester City, and Newcastle.

Shearer, the Premier League’s all-time top scorer, believes Salah can break Vardy’s record. Liverpool’s upcoming fixtures include matches against Everton, Fulham, Tottenham, Leicester, and West Ham.

Shearer told Betfair: “As a player, when you’re on a run like Salah is, you feel pretty unstoppable. I’ve been in that position myself, and you just can’t wait for the next game to come around.

“You don’t go out there hoping you’re going to score, you go out knowing that you’re going to score. Standing in that tunnel before a game when you’re in red-hot form, it’s a great feeling, believe me.”

“It wouldn’t surprise me to see him break Jamie Vardy’s Premier League scoring streak record, especially with the form he’s in, the player he is, and the chances that Liverpool create. With the Christmas and New Year period full of matches, it’s a great time for him.”

“Can he break the record? I wouldn’t put it past him, he’s that good of a footballer.”
