The German also said that 31-year-old Salah, who signed a three-year extension to his contract last year, is 100 per cent committed to Liverpool.
Liverpool went down to 10 men in their 3-1 win over Bournemouth on Saturday with the sending-off of Alexis Mac Allister. His red card has since been rescinded after an appeal. The manager said it was a massive relief.
“I wasn’t sure after the game so when I saw the pictures back and I was really sure that it’s not a red card,” Klopp said, “but that doesn’t mean immediately that our appeal will be successful”.
Mac Allister is now available for the game at Newcastle where Klopp will face Eddie Howe.
Howe took over at Newcastle in 2021 and took the club to a fourth-place finish last season and Champions League qualification. Klopp described him as a super coach.
Klopp said right back Trent Alexander-Arnold is fit after leaving the field with a knock against Bournemouth last weekend, while midfielders Thiago Alcantara and Curtis Jones will be ready from Monday.
Centre back Ibrahima Konate is struggling with a muscle injury, and he is a doubt for the Newcastle game.
“Playing 40 minutes with 10 men didn’t help. That’s the situation,” Klopp said.
Liverpool have four points after two Premier League games with Newcastle one point behind.
