Talking of which, can there be a positive farewell for the Egyptian star? Furthermore, that does not have to be one forever, of course. The player, like many others will be traveling to the Africa Cup of Nations, whatever transpires. We await the starting lineups from Liverpool's encounter with the south coast side.

Norwich have gone back in front, the goal coming from Jovon Makama, his second of the game. Additional Football Updates News from Spain, where Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso said Kylian Mbappe is available to play on Sunday against Alaves. Mbappe missed the European defeat by Manchester City. Alonso stated, "We've got Kylian back, he's ready to play, and tomorrow we'll see and decide if he starts." Real Madrid are without several injured players including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dani Carvajal and Eduardo Camavinga. On that local derby, one fan commented: "Hi. Bristol Rovers 0 Swindon 3 doesn't tell the half of it. Ten League defeats in a row incoming, which is one club record. Five home losses in a row is another club record... It's not much fun being a Gashead these days." For Swindon, Aaron Drinan has joined Rovers' Kacper Lopata in receiving a red card.
