Arne Slot had already confirmed that Mohamed Salah was already set to miss Saturday’s encounter after being withdrawn against Galatasaray in midweek. The Egypt international asked to be withdrawn from the action during the second half of Wednesday’s Champions League last-16 tie with a muscle injury.

Salah will miss his country’s upcoming friendly with Spain and now faces a race against time to be fit for the Reds’ FA Cup quarter-final at Manchester City. But it’s only two weeks when we go again so let’s hope in that period of time he can be back.” But the Premier League champions have been dealt a fresh blow after Alisson was absent from their travelling party that headed to the South Coast on Friday evening.

The Liverpool goalkeeper missed the first leg against Galatasaray after pulling up in pre-match training but returned for last weekend’s 1-1 draw with Tottenham. Although Anfield chiefs have not disclosed the extent of Alisson’s problem, it has already forced his withdrawal from Brazil’s upcoming friendlies in the United States.
