BREAKING: KLOPP CONFIRMS SALAH WILL MISS UCL 2ND LEG VS BARCA WITH HEAD INJURY
Liverpool boss Klopp has confirmed that Mohamed Salah will miss the second leg of Champions League semi-finals against Barcelona at Anfield through head injury.
The problems are adding up for manager Jurgen Klopp as Roberto Firmino, who tore a muscle last week but still managed to come on as a late substitute in the Nou Camp, has already been ruled out of Tuesday's game.
Now they were to be without Salah, who is their leading goalscorer after netting his 26th of the season at St James' Park, it would be a significant blow to their hopes.
The Egypt international was injured in a collision with goalkeeper Martin Dubravka and lay motionless on the pitch for several minutes while he was treated before leaving the field on a stretcher with his hands covering his face.
Klopp talks about Salah and Firmino: 'Both at unavailable for tomorrow, the approach is that we try to win the game. The situation is not what you want in a second leg. You can’t play Barca and saw ‘world watch this’. We try to win the game and if the result gets us through then we will try. There is just a little chance to make the season longer. I think we should celebrate the last two games.'
