Is Mohamed Salah fit to play in the Carabao Cup final? Liverpool star being assessed ‘day-by-day’ after sitting out Luton win

Mohamed Salah is an injury doubt for Liverpool’s Carabao Cup clash with Chelsea at Wembley this weekend, live on talkSPORT.

The Egyptian only returned from a month out at the weekend as he came off the bench in the first half against Brentford.

He replaced Diogo Jota in the 44th minute of the game, which was earlier than hoped, and that seems to have had an impact on his fitness.

Is Mohamed Salah fit to play for Liverpool?

Salah’s condition is being monitored on a daily basis.

Jurgen Klopp has confirmed the forward is suffering from fatigue after playing more than a half at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday.

“It is day by day as well with Mo,” the Liverpool manager explained.

“It’s a similar area where he feels it [fatigue] a little bit. We have to see how it develops. It’s nothing crazy, but we have to see.”

Fatigue would mean Salah needs to rest and considering the Reds have only had four days between fixtures, he may not have had enough time off.

So, he played no part against Luton, and it remains to be seen if he’s fit enough to play in the final.

Salah’s issues have added to a crisis for Liverpool with Jota now sidelined alongside Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Curtis Jones.

Darwin Nunez is also being looked at each day after suffering from muscle tightness, and he also missed the Luton game.

Klopp will no doubt clarify Salah’s position later in the week, but for now, he’s doubtful.
