The duo of Mohammed Salah and Roberto Firmino have been ruled out of the Uefa Champions League 2nd leg Semi-Final clash with Barcelona on Tuesday.
The Jurgen Klopp’s side suffered 3-0 defeat to Barcelona in the 1st Leg and will have to play the return leg at Anfield without two of their regular players.
While Firmino is struggling with groin injury, Egyptian Mohamed Salah, who was stretchered off during Saturday evening’s 3-2 win at Newcastle is out with a head injury.
Klopp confirmed, during a press conference on Monday that Salah would be out, and explained that the decision had been taken on medical grounds and was out of his control.
“It’s not a precaution, it’s a concussion,” said Klopp. “He would not even be allowed to play, so that’s it.
“He feels ok but it’s not good enough from a medical point of view, that’s all.
“He’s desperate, everything, but we cannot do it. He can play at the weekend.”
