Klopp optimistic Salah will be ready to face Man City
Jurgen Klopp believes Mohamed Salah is likely to be fit for Liverpool's Champions League quarter-final second leg at Manchester City.
Salah opened the scoring in last week's rousing 3-0 success at Anfield, before departing the action early in the second period with a groin injury.
That problem kept him out of Saturday's 0-0 draw at Everton, but Klopp was optimistic when quizzed on the fitness of a man who has scored 38 goals across all competitions this season.
"We're not sure 100 per cent, he was with the athletic coach yesterday," Klopp told a media conference ahead of Tuesday's return leg at the Etihad Stadium.
"Rather yes than no, but we have to wait and see for the reaction."
