Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has come out to provide crucial injury updates on Mohamed Salah, Thiago Alcantara and Dominik Szoboszlai ahead of the game vs Burnley. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, it was a shame that Thiago picked up another muscle issue after just returning to training from a long layoff, so the club will have to wait and see the extent he would be out for.

He added that both Salah and Dom are close to returning, so they will be back in very soon.
His words, On Salah, “Right direction. We hope, but we don’t know, we hope that he can be part of parts of training next week. But we have to see, he is going through all the phases now and it’s positive. It’s either next week or the week after.”
On Thiago, “Thiago, obviously, is not cool. Everything looked absolutely fantastic in training. We showed quite a lot of things, I think, on LFCTV so you can see the training moments and it looks outstanding so you think: ‘Come on, take him, we have the opportunity, let him play a few minutes’ and then…It’s a muscle issue, we don’t know the extent yet. We have to wait there a little bit, but it’s not cool, of course. It was really not good news for him, for us, for everybody. On top of losing the game already and having that is not good.
