As the new round of the UEFA Champions League approaches, Liverpool are set to visit AC Milan in what promises to be a high-stakes clash between familiar foes. According to Crickex Login, both sides have recently struggled, and with pressure mounting, they are expected to pull out all the stops for a crucial win. For Liverpool’s new manager Arne Slot, bouncing back from a surprising upset in the previous match is a must. Meanwhile, Milan boss Paulo Fonseca aims to maintain momentum after defeating Venezia, especially with a daunting fixture against Inter on the horizon.

Crickex Login highlights that the midfield battle will be pivotal, as both squads are dealing with injuries—particularly in defensive roles. For Liverpool, Slot has stuck with the trio of Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, and Ryan Gravenberch across the first four Premier League games. In contrast, Japanese captain Wataru Endō has seen minimal action, making just a one-minute appearance as a substitute against Brentford. This lack of playing time is a significant challenge for the 31-year-old midfielder, whose transfer to Liverpool last summer came only after the club ran out of options in the market.

Despite not signing a new player in Endō’s position this season, Slot appears to have placed his trust in Gravenberch, leaving Endō on the sidelines. As the saying goes, “Every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day.” Unfortunately for Endō, the current midfield setup seems sufficient, pushing him further down the pecking order. His move to Anfield was met with skepticism from the start—despite surpassing expectations last season, concerns about his age, limited resume, and adjustment to English football have made it difficult for him to secure a regular role.

Whether Endō will feature in the upcoming Champions League match remains uncertain. Given the demands of the season, rotation is inevitable, and Liverpool lack the depth to rely solely on Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, and Gravenberch. If Endō can seize the moment and fill any gaps, he might still have a chance to prove himself. However, should he continue to be excluded even from rotation, a transfer exit could be looming.

Meanwhile, Crickex Login also notes a major development at the club—Mohamed Salah is expected to leave Liverpool, with reports indicating he will not renew his contract. Widely considered one of the Premier League’s greatest players, the 32-year-old Egyptian international has had a stellar start to the season, scoring three goals and providing three assists in four league appearances. Still, doubts persist about his long-term future at Anfield.

Last summer, Salah was strongly linked to a move to the Saudi Pro League, with Al-Ittihad reportedly offering £150 million for his services. Though the transfer ultimately fell through, Crickex Login sees little surprise in the massive bid—highlighting just how valuable Salah remains in today’s market.
