Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes a Champions League night at Anfield may actually come as a relief to Napoli opponents dealing with significant internal strife.

Reports claim the Serie A club’s president Aurelio De Laurentiis is to fine every player 25 per cent of their monthly salary after they refused to attend a squad training retreat earlier this month.

Fans have turned their anger on the players and the club have imposed a media ban on the squad and manager Carlo Ancelotti from speaking about the turmoil, leading to Italian media labelling the situation “civil war”.

“We try to do as much as possible but not too much in the sessions to make sure our players are as fresh as possible.”

Mohamed Salah was an unused substitute in the 2-1 win at Crystal Palace on Saturday after missing training with an ankle problem.

But Klopp said: “Mo Salah looks really good. 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, saying: “Joel is improving but is some time away. There will be a scan this week and then we will see how it is.”
