Relief for Liverpool as Salah avoids serious ankle injury

Mohamed Salah has avoided serious injury following Liverpool’s victory over Leicester City on Saturday, Goal can confirm.

The Egypt international was forced off after a challenge from Foxes midfielder Hamza Choudhury in the closing stages of the Reds’ 2-1 win at Anfield.

Salah left the ground limping, while manager Jurgen Klopp condemned Choudhury’s tackle as “dangerous as hell” while urging the England Under-21 man to calm down.
