Liverpool winger Kaide Gordon<\/a> has suffered a major injury blow, while Saudi clubs are circling Mo Salah<\/a> for a January transfer.<\/p>\n

Kaide Gordon tears meniscus<\/p>\n

Gordon has made eight appearances for the Reds, most recently coming on as a substitute in Liverpool Carabao Cup<\/a> defeat to Crystal Palace<\/a> this season.<\/p>\n

Injury has been a problem, though, throughout the 21-year-old\u2019s young career, having missed 19 months at one time due to a pelvic problem.<\/p>\n

And he has now suffered another long-term injury, announcing on Instagram<\/a> that he has torn his meniscus.<\/p>\n

\"KIRKBY,<\/p>\n

Gordon wrote: \u201cSo disappointed to say I have torn my meniscus and will be out for some time worst news I could have got and this one will hurt for a while but I will be back.\u201d<\/p>\n

A number of current and former teammates, including Hugo Ekitike<\/a> and player-coach Jay Spearing, have offered their support online.<\/p>\n

Under-21s coach Rob Page had suggested<\/a> to This Is Anfield that he could go out on loan in January, but that now seems unlikely as estimations make it four to six months before a player can return to the pitch if they require surgery.<\/p>\n

Saudi league CEO confirms Salah interest<\/p>\n

\"LEEDS,<\/p>\n

\u2022 Saudi Pro League CEO Omar Mugharbel says Salah \u201cis welcome in the Saudi League, but it is the clubs that are responsible for negotiating with players.\u201d It\u2019s no secret that PIF-affiliated clubs are interested<\/a>. \u201cFor sure Salah is one of them [a target]\u201d added Mugharbel.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Curtis Jones<\/a> has insisted<\/a> that the players \u201care always\u201d behind Slot and Salah is \u201cas hungry as ever\u201d \u2013 let\u2019s patch things up then, eh<\/p>\n

\u2022 Steven Gerrard<\/a> has told<\/a> TNT Sports<\/a> he thinks some of Salah\u2019s comments were \u201cwrong\u201d and captain Virgil van Dijk<\/a> may need to intervene \u2013 the former skipper himself helped sort out problems between Brendan Rodgers and Luis Suarez<\/p>\n

More from This Is Anfield<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dominik Szoboszlai<\/a> and Virgil van Dijk<\/a> have already played 2,520 minutes for club and country this campaign, with only one player in Europe\u2019s top five leagues featuring more. <\/p>\n

Joanna Durkan looks at how Liverpool\u2019s players are facing a serious fitness test this season:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not even mid-December and Liverpool already have four players with over 2,000 minutes under their belt, with Ibrahima Konate<\/a> (2,122) and Cody Gakpo<\/a> (2,047) joining Van Dijk and Szoboszlai.<\/p>\n

\u201cSlot has leaned on the quartet heavily and his reliance on them has already seen Gakpo ruled out for a number of weeks with an injury, with fears the same could later extend to the others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liverpool FC: On this day<\/p>\n

\"LIVERPOOL,<\/p>\n

Happy birthday to Jeremie Frimpong<\/a> who turns 25 years old on December 10! <\/p>\n

A millennium baby, Frimpong was born in Amsterdam and moved to Manchester at the age of seven. He was in Man City<\/a>\u2018s academy before joining Celtic and Bayer Leverkusen<\/a> prior to his summer move to Liverpool.<\/p>\n

His Anfield career has been majorly hampered by two hamstring injuries so far, making just nine appearances including the Community Shield, but we can\u2019t wait to see what the flying wing-back has to offer when fully fit!<\/p>\n
