Jurgen Klopp was coy in his response when he quizzed about Mohamed Salah’s fitness ahead of Tuesday night’s clash with Manchester City.
Speaking to the media ahead of the game at the Etihad, Klopp claims he isn’t sure if the player is at ‘100%’, as reported by Neil Jones.
We will see if he is part of training at 5pm. I would rather he is a yes than a no! We will see, then tomorrow we will make a decision.
Despite Liverpool taking a 3-0 lead into the game, the news will be a worry for many supporters.
Salah, who was recently named as the PFA Player of the Month for March, has been influential in their success this season.
The attacker also impressed at Anfield during the first leg, scoring Liverpool’s opening goal of the game.
The Reds had hoped to have both Salah and in-form defender Andy Robertson back for the clash at the Etihad.
The first-team squad are due to train on Tuesday afternoon and Salah’s reaction could well decide whether or not he will be risked in the second leg.
