Published on November 27, 2019, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expressed confidence in Mohamed Salah's fitness ahead of their Champions League match against Napoli.
Salah was an unused substitute in the 2-1 win against Crystal Palace on Saturday due to an ankle problem, but Klopp stated that he is not worried about the Egyptian forward's condition.
'Mo Salah looks really good,' Klopp said at his pre-match press conference. 'I'm not worried about it.'
Klopp also provided an update on the fitness of defender Joel Matip, who has been sidelined with a knee injury.
'Joel is improving but is some time away. There will be a scan this week and then we will see how it is.'
Regarding Liverpool's fixture pile-up, Klopp revealed that the team has plans in place to cope with the demanding schedule.
'We have plans for everything, as you can imagine, and we change them constantly,' Klopp said. 'I have two smartphones and when one of them is ringing it is really rare it is good news.'
Victory over Napoli would ensure Liverpool finishes top of Group E with a game to spare, but Klopp emphasized the importance of focusing on the match at hand.
'The biggest mistake we could make is that we have won it already and what would happen if we win it,' Klopp said.
