Salah says he'll be fine after suffering injury in City trouncing

Mohamed Salah was substituted with a suspected groin injury 52 minutes into Liverpool’s visit from Manchester City on Wednesday.

Manager Jurgen Klopp said the Egyptian international will undergo further tests in the coming days to determine the damage.

However, Salah seemed upbeat about his chances of a swift recovery.

“After the game I asked him and he said, ‘I will be good, it will be fine.’ But now we have to wait for the real diagnosis, not Mo’s self-diagnosis,” Klopp said. “We will see, I don’t know at the moment.”

The former Roma winger scored and assisted for Sadio Mane in a first half that saw the Reds take a 3-0 lead in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final bout.

Georginio Wijnaldum was introduced in Salah’s stead, as Jurgen Klopp’s side uncharacteristically seemed to begin trying to preserve its clean sheet and three-goal lead at Anfield.

The reverse fixture is set for next Tuesday at the Etihad Stadium, but Liverpool first faces Merseyside rival Everton to begin Saturday’s Premier League action.
