Jurgen Klopp called Mohamed Salah a “tough cookie” and says the Liverpool forward is ready to train ahead of Wednesday’s Premier League trip to Arsenal, live on Sky Sports.
Salah was substituted moments after scoring a second-half penalty in Liverpool’s 2-0 win at Brighton on Saturday with a foot problem.
Doubts over his fitness were heightened when he missed training on Monday ahead of the midweek visit to the Emirates, but Liverpool manager Klopp confirmed the Egypt forward has recovered well.
“It looks like Mo is a tough cookie. We were quite lucky with it,” Klopp said.
“It was swollen and painful but yesterday a little less swollen, less painful. I got a message before the press conference that he is ready to train and we will see how it looks.”
