• Jürgen Klopp waits on Egyptian forward’s ankle injury• Klopp: ‘It’s still kind of there. We have to be sensible’
Jürgen Klopp has said
Mohamed Salah must continue to play with pain but allayed concerns the
Liverpool forward needs surgery on the ankle injury that has troubled him for seven weeks.
Salah has trained during the international break although remains a doubt for the
Premier League leaders’ visit to Crystal Palace on Saturday. The 27-year-old suffered the injury when fouled by Hamza Choudhury in the win over Leicester on 5 October and missed the following league game at
Manchester United as a consequence. The problem was aggravated by a challenge from Fernandinho in the defeat of
Manchester City before the international break and, despite a period of rest and rehabilitation, Salah has yet to make a full recovery. His manager, however, believes the injury can be managed game-by-game and without an operation.
