Liverpool take on Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final second leg at Anfield on Tuesday.
And before this match, Jurgen Klopp might very well have a huge selection headache.
The Reds are already 3-0 down from the first leg which means that they not only have to overturn such a huge deficit but in case Barcelona manage to score an away goal then Liverpool might very well have to pull out an even bigger comeback than Istanbul.
Liverpool news vs Barcelona:
The first and the major concern right now for Jurgen Klopp is with the head injury to Mo Salah.
The Egyptian was stretchered off the pitch during the Newcastle United game which has let to many doubting his participation during the second leg vs Barcelona.
Klopp though claimed that Mo Salah’s injury was not as serious as it looked which means there is a huge possibility that the player might feature on Tuesday.
“He got the hip of the goalie in his head and then was on the ground,” said the Liverpool boss.
“The doctor had to make a decision – on the pitch or off the pitch – and the decision was off the pitch and we accept that of course.
“When we came in, he was sitting in the dressing room and watching the game or had watched the game.
“He was then fine but of course we have to wait. He got a proper knock in that situation.”
Klopp chose to play Winjanldum as the striker during the first leg but everyone expected Roberto Firmino to take back his usual position this week.
Now though the German has made it clear that Firmino will not be fit to play during the second leg which means it will be Daniel Sturridge who will play as the front man.
Naby Keita is ruled out with an injury which means Jordan Henderson will partner Fabinho and Wijnaldum in midfield.
Alexander Arnold was dropped from the first leg as Jurgen Klopp chose to play Joe Gomez at right-back but TAA is expected to return back to his usual position at Anfield on Tuesday.
Liverpool news: Reds’ predicted XI
First XI: Alisson Becker, Van Dijk, Matip, Robertson, Alexander Arnold, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Fabinho, Mane, Sturridge, Mo Salah.
