Mohamed Salah has been a crucial member of Liverpool’s team this season, and if he were to miss out on Tuesday’s Champions League tie against Manchester City, it could be detrimental.
The Egyptian international has been in scintillating form, scoring 38 goals in all competitions, the most recent of which came against City in the first leg.
The 25-year-old opened the scoring in a sensational opening 45 minutes that resulted in the Reds going 3-0 up.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Sadio Mane also found the back of the net, while City struggled to respond and failed to nab what could have been an important away goal.

Given how dominant Pep Guardiola’s side have been in the Premier League as they have a 13-point advantage in the title race, many tipped the club to be favourites to progress.
However, Liverpool find themselves in that position due to last week’s result, which was not just about the attackers, but the team’s ability to keep City’s stars quiet.
During the match, Salah pulled up with a groin problem and missed last weekend’s Merseyside derby, but Klopp is hopeful that his key player will be fit for tomorrow.
Liverpool fans have tweeted their reaction to the update.
