However, Salah was withdrawn in the 65th minute of the Amex Stadium clash after suffering a foot injury.

Following the game, Klopp told BT Sport: “We will see, he thinks it's not serious.

“But you see when Salah is sitting down, something is not 100 per cent right.

“When he hit the ball and it got blocked, I think the foot got slightly overstretched, let's see.”

Salah has not missed a game for Liverpool because of injury since October 2019.

However, after not being present for training, he now may be a doubt for tomorrow's trip to in-form Arsenal.

Milner and Tsimikas absent but Konate back

Meanwhile, James Milner and Kostas Tsimikas were not captured during training footage.

Both were on the bench against Brighton, with Milner coming on as an 86th-minute substitute in place of Jordan Henderson.

"Covid is not over, so these things, we’ve had," the Reds boss said ahead of the trip to Brighton.

"We try everything to avoid but it’s not always possible. Players and staff have no symptoms but cannot be involved.”

Ibrahima Konate is back in training after missing the past two matches with a knock.

A win for Liverpool against Arsenal will see them move within a point of Premier League leaders Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola’s side were held to a goalless stalemate at Crystal Palace last night.
