Mo Salah REGEN is finally coming to Liverpool first-team

There's a Mohamed Salah regen coming to Liverpool's first-team at last.

Because of the sheer quality in Arne Slot's senior set-up some players have been frustrated by a lack of opportunities at first-team level.

Under Jurgen Klopp, academy stars would get a lot more chances to earn a promotion, partly because Klopp preferred to work with a smaller squad with more young players incorporated and also because the German's sides always had more injury problems to contend with.

With Slot, it's different. He demands elite levels from everyone in training which means opportunities are more rare for young players.

Only the very best are rewarded with games at first-team level. So far, this includes Rio Ngumoha and Trey Nyoni.

But, there is going to be an opportunity for more youngsters to try to stake a claim this week.

Liverpool are going to be resting a lot of senior players for their League Cup encounter with Southampton on Tuesday night.

With this being a domestic cup against a team from the second division, Slot has the luxury of not needing some of his senior options.

Among those not involved in this one will be Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate and Mohamed Salah.

The latter may present the opportunity for Salah's 'regen' from the academy to finally make a long-awaited debut for the first-team.

Why Kieran Morrison is a Salah regen and why he could make his first-team debut

Morrison has been training with Liverpool's first-team ahead of the game and it's a huge opportunity for him to be involved.

Over the summer, he was the subject of a lot of interest from clubs within England and from abroad and leaving Liverpool is something he has to consider.

Morrison will be turning 19-years-old later this year, and he's been by far and away the standout player for Liverpool at U21 level since the start of last season.

He made the most goal contributions (11) for the U21 side during a disappointing campaign last season, where Morrison was among the few players to have shone.

A right-winger with a wand of a left foot, there are similarities between him and Salah. Like Salah, Morrison likes to cut into the middle and he has the ability to score from inside and outside the penalty area.

On top of that, similarly to Salah, he's not just a goal-scorer but he's a creator as well. He can create abundant opportunities for his teammates, and he's become very selfless over the course of the last season or so.

Morrison has been waiting for this opportunity for a while now.

Without Salah in the team, Slot doesn't have too many options on the right-wing. Federico Chiesa could play there. Kaide Gordon perhaps. But this Southampton game is going to be the best chance for Morrison to prove that he is a Salah regen and that he could be relied on in the first-team.
