​Liverpool boss Klopp provides injury update on Van Dijk and Salah ahead of Southampton

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has provided an update on the fitness of Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk.

Both players were withdrawn during Liverpool's FA Cup final win on penalties against Chelsea at the weekend.

Scottish left-back Andy Robertson is also under an injury cloud after coming off with cramp against the Blues.

Asked about the trio ahead of Tuesday's clash with Southampton, Klopp said: "This process has not finished yet because we only played the 120 minutes two days ago.

"So when the boys arrive today I have to make a lot of decisions. Then we will line up a team. What I can promise and definitely say is we will line up a team only for one reason: to try to win the game at Southampton. As difficult as it is. Because that obviously is the job to do.

"We have to see who is able to help. The 30 extra minutes [at Wembley] made a big difference, but we have to see."
