Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has stated that his Egyptian star player, Mohamed Salah, is expected to be fit for Saturday’s trip to Arsenal despite battling wrist injury.
Salah has been spotted in training but with a splint on his wrist. He has also had strapping on his forearm during their last three matches.
Speaking about his likelihood to feature in the game against the Gunners, Klopp said,
“Mo, it is nothing really serious – it’s a kind of inflammation of the tendon,” he told a news conference on Friday, according to ESPN.
“That’s pretty much all.
“It [the support] was only for protection — the pictures you saw were only protection and it has no influence.
“Hendo feels really good but it will be probably the start of the week when he will be back in training.
“Naby, end of this week. It doesn’t make a big difference match-wise, but that’s how it looks.”
“In football, a not-too-serious injury takes still two, three or four weeks. You are lucky if you only have an injury like that, but that only means in the Premier League [you will miss] 20 games.
“They are completely in time, if you want. It’s like we expected it. We didn’t have to rush it – actually we couldn’t, but there was no reason for trying it.
“If the next game would be next Friday then probably both would be fit, but the next game is on Saturday and the other one on Tuesday, so that could be a bit tight.”
