Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits they need to be careful with the fitness management of Mohamed Salah.

He was criticised for taking Salah off during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Everton but Klopp has revealed that the Egypt winger had an issue with his hamstring.

"I took Mo Salah off because he had a hamstring a little bit," Klopp said.

"Then everyone said 'how can you take him off?' and stuff like this. I don't go out and say 'yeah, but he is close to being injured.'

“He is not at the moment, thank God. Hopefully we took him off early enough."
