Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk will NOT play in must-win Southampton clash tomorrow with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp not prepared to risk star duo with Champions League final looming... but expects them to play some part in Wolves finale on Sunday

Jurgen Klopp will not risk Mo Salah or Virgil van Dijk for Tuesday night's crucial match at Southampton.

Salah has not recovered from the groin issue that forced him off during the first half of Saturday's FA Cup final against Chelsea while Van Dijk, who was substituted at the end of 90 minutes, will also be absent with Klopp adamant he cannot take a risk on their fitness given the quick turnaround after Wembley.

He is confident, however, that both men will be ready to take on Real Madrid in the Champions League final on May 28.
