Klopp frets on Salah fitness

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is anxiously awaiting a fitness report on leading scorer Mohamed Salah as he prepares for a second match inside 48 hours, writes Carl Markham

The Egypt international took his tally to 23 in just 29 appearances since signing from Roma in the summer but limped off after scoring both goals in Saturday’s 2-1 win at home to Leicester.

Salah has played 1,596 minutes of Premier League football this season — averaging a goal every 94 minutes — with only five other attackers having been on the field for longer.
