Liverpool have ruled out surgery for Mohamed Salah over his troublesome ankle injury.

The star striker has suffered continuing issues for six weeks after being crocked by Leicester 's Hamza Choudhury back in early October.

Salah has been barely able to train with the problem, and has instead been forced to undergo rehab during the week before playing.

Asked if he needed an operation, Reds boss Jurgen Klopp replied: “No. It is from the Leicester game. It was getting better and better and then…it is good but it was after the (City) game again, another tackle, it flared up again.

“It is not serious but in the short period we have to let it settle it is always tight for the game. We will see. He trained completely yesterday, a full session, but we have to see how he reacted."
