Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp could not fully appreciate the magnitude of his players surpassing some of the greats of the club in setting a new unbeaten home record as he is too focused on what comes next.
The 3-0 win over Leicester, achieved with nine first-team players out ill or injured, took his defending champions level on points with leaders Tottenham.
More significantly it set a new benchmark of 64 Anfield league matches – stretching back to April 2017 – without defeat, bettering the mark set by the three-time European Cup-winning side of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Salah is set to return to training on Tuesday after a negative Covid-19 test following two positives while on international duty with Egypt.
"I think from now he is pretty normal in all the testing. He can train with us. There are two tests in the next two days so he will be tested," said Klopp.
Former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers had to accept his team were a long way from their best against the defending champions.
"The best team won, we are disappointed with the performance and result," he said.
"Everyone's talked about Liverpool's injuries and that was the narrative going into this game but it is still a top-class team with players who can hurt you."
