Earlier, the winger had pushed Liverpool forward with a 2â1 lead in the game with a right-foot finish. Now, Belgian striker Divock Origi is his temporary replacement. Salah’s injury puts him a risk of being an enormous concern for Tuesday’s game against Barcelona at Anfield.

The injury is another huge detriment to Liverpool’s team after Roberto Firmino was ruled out of both the Champions league semi-final second leg against Barca and the trip up to the North East.
