Liverpool have been handed a potential boost ahead of their Champions League clash with RB Salzburg on Wednesday, with concerns over Erling Haaland’s fitness, and that would certainly be a positive.
According to Sports Mole via Viasat, Salzburg’s sporting director Christoph Freund confirmed that Haaland is being monitored daily by the club’s doctors ahead of the Champions League tie and is a doubt.
The next two days are important. He is checked by a doctor every day. He’s sick, and we don’t quite know when he will be back. Hopefully over the next few days.
READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT
Haaland potentially missing Salzburg’s trip to Anfield is certainly a boost for Liverpool, following his standout performance in the first group stage game.
The striker shone for the Austrian side against Genk, netting a hat-trick in his first Champions League appearance, and while Liverpool would have certainly posed a greater threat, it would be a bonus nonetheless for the Reds.
The 19-year-old has since been touted with a move to the likes of Manchester United, Barcelona and Juventus, the report suggests.
