Kelleher failed against Luton and this goalkeeper could be an emergency signing
Salah was injured on 18 January in an Africa Cup match between Egypt and Senegal. His presence will be key for Klopp, who brings back one of his best players for the final stretch of the season. Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez was replaced at half-time against Brentford. Klopp later explained that the Uruguayan "felt something minor".
"That discomfort was enough to put the brakes on, that's what we did. We took him off and put Cody Gakpo on and that worked very well," the manager explained. Liverpool have suffered a number of injuries so far this season. And the German tactician feels it is necessary to manage the workload ahead of the second half of the season. The Reds have a number of fixtures ahead of them: Premiership, UEFA Europa League and the League Cup final against Chelsea at Wembley.

It was a tough game for Liverpool against Luton Town as they went behind in the first half when Ogbene scored after a poor rebound from goalkeeper Kelleher. But Colombian Luis Diaz also had a poor game with three missed chances. With the injuries, Jurgen Klopp could give a chance to the 18 year old Jayden Danns who is a goalscorer, with 16 goals and 4 assists in 14 games for the U18s. With the U21s he has 3 goals and 3 assists in 7 games.
