Jurgen Klopp Confirms Mohamed Salah & Roberto Firmino Have Been Ruled Out of Barcelona Second Leg

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been ruled out of Tuesday's Champions League semi final second leg with Barcelona, after undergoing concussion tests on Sunday.

Salah collided with Martin Dubravka's hip in an aerial battle in the 67th minute of Liverpool 3-2 win over Newcastle on Saturday, and was unresponsive for around five or six seconds, before being treated on the field for an extended period and eventually stretchered off.

He is understood to have watched the remainder of the game from the dressing room, with subsequent reports explaining that he would not play against Barça if he was revealed to have suffered a concussion.
