Mohamed Salah injury scare

Mohamed Salah could be rested when Liverpool take on West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League at Anfield this evening.

Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp has made 59 changes to his starting line-up in the league so far this season and he looks set to continue with his rotation policy.

Salah was hauled off during the Merseyside derby and Klopp has revealed this was because of an injury scare. Unless the Egyptian is a hundred percent fit, it is unlikely that Salah will be deployed against the visitors.

“I took Mo Salah off because he had a hamstring a little bit,” said the boss. “Then everyone said ‘How can you take him off?’ and stuff like this. I don’t go out and say ‘Yeah, but he is close to being injured.’

“He is not at the moment, thank God. Hopefully, we took him off early enough.”

Meanwhile, Salah, who has been named the Standard Chartered Player of the Month for November, wants to forget about the disappointing 1-1 draw against Everton and focus on tonight’s game.

The Liverpool ace told the official club website: “All of us were disappointed after that game but that was the result and we have to carry on.

 

“The next game is an important game for us at home, we have to get the three points and look forward.

“The atmosphere is unbelievable, the supporters are behind us every game and we feel like we have someone pushing us every minute.

“It’s a good feeling, all the players feel it, so we have to carry on and concentrate on winning the game.”
