Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah could play against Leicester on Thursday, Jurgen Klopp has confirmed. The game comes only four days after losing the AFCON final with Egypt.
Salah’s Egypt was beaten in a penalty shootout, in which the captain did not take a spot-kick by Senegal on Sunday’s final in Cameroon.
Sadio Mane, who scored the winning penalty on the other hand will not be available for the clash because joined celebrations in the Senegalese capital Dakar on Monday, and will not return to England in time, Klopp added.
Klopp told LiverpoolFC.com: “Mo is now back, I spoke already to him. He is very disappointed of course, but looking forward to all the things coming up here now. I spoke to him and pretty much the first thing Mo told me was: ‘I’m ready.’ Haha!
