Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has provided an injury update on Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah.
Both players were absent for Wednesday’s Champions League quarter-final clash with Benfica, which saw Liverpool advance 6-4 on an aggregate but Klopp is confident that they will be available to face Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-finals on Saturday.
“We missed (Van Dijk); we played the last line completely new and we missed the boys of the last line if you want. (Van Dijk) is not injured. Diogo got a knock in the first half, that’s what I know. About Mo’s knock, I don’t know really, nobody told me yet.
“I changed with two physios and nobody said to me Mo has a problem, so for the moment everybody should be fine,” Klopp told the club’s website.

The Reds are on course to win a quadruple this season and the FA Cup final will present them with the chance to win their first trophy this season as they are still in contention for the Premier League, the Champions League, and the EFL Cup.
