Salah in contention to face Leicester City after disappointment in just concluded AFCON.
Liverpool forward Mo Salah will be in contention to play in the Reds next Premier League game against Leicester after AFCON disappointment.
The Egyptian reached the final and were beaten in a penalty shootout – in which the captain did not take a spot-kick – by Senegal in Cameroon.
Sadio Mane, who scored the winning penalty, joined celebrations in the Senegalese capital Dakar on Monday, and will not return to England in time to play in Thursday’s game, Klopp added.
Klopp told LiverpoolFC.com: “Mo is now back, I spoke already to him. He is very disappointed of course, but looking forward to all the things coming up here now. I spoke to him and pretty much the first thing Mo told me was: ‘I’m ready.’ Haha!
“He is an experienced player, he is a physical monster, to be honest, so we have to see. He will obviously have a little recovery session today and we will see how he feels tomorrow and from there we go.
“Sadio flies out if it’s possible on Wednesday night, so will arrive here on Thursday but he is, of course, then not involved in the Leicester game.
“It means the world to him, it means the world to his people, it means the world to Senegal and we respect that a lot and we would never consider to have called back him from there or whatever – let them do what they do in the moment because they deserve it.
“They’ve had an incredibly intense time, so when he is back we will talk to him and we will see how we can use him.”
