Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp admits Liverpool will need to assess the fitness of Mohamed Salah after he sustained a knock during his match-winning performance against Wilfred Ndidi’s Leicester City on Saturday.
Salah grabbed a brace as Liverpool came from behind to beat the Foxes 2-1 at Anfield in their final game of 2017 for his goal No.23 of the season. Klopp revealed during his his post-match press conference that Salah was limping as he left the field as an 83rd-minute substitute and he will need to be checked by the club’s medical team to see if he can be involved against Burnley in less than 48 hours’ time.
“I don’t know in this moment exactly [what it is], but he was limping. That’s never a good sign, to be honest.
“We have to see what his problem was. We will see what he can do for the next game.” Klopp told the Reds’ official website
Salah’s double against Leicester took his tally to 23 goals in all competitions so far this season, a figure reached in just 29 appearances.
