Fatigue would mean Salah needs to rest and considering the Reds have only had four days between accessoriesyou may not have had enough free time.

Therefore, he played no part against Luton and it remains to be seen if he is fit enough to play in the final.

Salah's problems have been added to a crisis for Liverpooll with Jota now sidelined alongside Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Curtis Jones.

Darwin Nunez is also being tested daily after suffering muscle stiffness and also missed the Luton game.

Klopp will no doubt clarify Salah's position later this week, but for now he has doubts.
