Jurgen Klopp provides Mohamed Salah injury update ahead of Liverpool’s trip to Arsenal

Mohamed Salah is set to return to training after picking up an injury at the weekend, but Jurgen Klopp could not confirm whether he would be ready to play for Liverpool at Arsenal on Wednesday or not.

Klopp sounded positive that the Egyptian would be involved after limping out of the win at Brighton on Saturday with a foot injury, but will have to wait and see how he responds to training, after not being involved on Monday.

Asked whether Salah would be involved against Arsenal, Klopp told a press conference: ‘Looks like, Mo is a tough cookie. We were quite lucky with it, it was swollen and painful, but yesterday a little bit less swollen and painful.

‘I got a message just before the press conference that he is ready to train and we will see how that looks.’

Klopp will be keen to have Salah involved, with the Premier League’s top scorer netting his 20th league goal of the season on Saturday against the Seagulls.

Victory at Arsenal would put the Reds just one point behind Manchester City at the top of the table after the champions were held to a goalless draw by Crystal Palace on Monday night.

‘I think it was the situation before when he hit the ball and it got blocked, I think the foot got slightly
