Mohamed Salah missed Liverpool’s trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United but Jurgen Klopp says there is a chance that he could be fit for the Champions League clash with Genk on Wednesday.
Salah injured his ankle after a bad challenge by Hamza Choudhury during Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Leicester on October 5th and despite having a couple of weeks off due to the international break, he wasn’t able to get fit for the United clash.
Speaking to Sky Sports before the game at Old Trafford, Klopp said:
Mo was not ready, that’s how it is. He couldn’t train with the team; I don’t know where it came from that everybody said he will play. There was pretty much no chance for today, maybe for Wednesday, we have to see.
Liverpool will likely travel to Belgium on Tuesday ahead of the game with Genk, and Salah will be hoping to be fit enough for that game, although the possibility remains that the Reds could decide to leave him at home for the game so he can focus on getting fit for the visit of Tottenham on Sunday.
