Jurgen Klopp plays down fears over Mohamed Salah injury

Salah's eighth goal of the season, the winner from the penalty spot, was his 50th in 58 games at Anfield.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp played down fears Mohamed Salah had sustained another ankle problem after the Egypt international was substituted in Sunday's 2-1 Premier League win over Tottenham.

Salah's eighth goal of the season, the winner from the penalty spot, was his 50th in 58 games at Anfield and only Roger Hunt has reached that half-century quicker.

However, he was replaced five minutes from the end after receiving treatment on the left ankle which he injured against Leicester earlier this month and kept him out of the previous match at Old Trafford.

Salah left the ground walking much easier than when he sustained his sprain against the Foxes and Klopp said the forward, who was unlikely to feature in Wednesday's Carabao Cup tie at home to Arsenal anyway, was removed as a precaution.

"Different phases during the game I think we played well. When we score so early, the team try to defend and we miss a little bit to play," said Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino.

"In the first half it was difficult to connect the play and go forward and dominate. When we scored so early it is like we need to defend, defend, defend.

"We need to improve a lot but of course we're a little bit disappointed. The team is really competitive.

"In this season I think we deserve more points but we didn't get them so it is the moment to stay strong and keep pushing."
