All the latest news and analysis from Anfield on the Liverpool Echo's dedicated LFC Facebook pageBut when asked on Salah’s fitness, Reds boss Slot said: “We don’t know, that is the best answer I can give. If I say there might be a chance, that is probably the headline.“We simply don’t know, but what we do know is that the season is over in four weeks.

There are not a lot of games to be played, so we have to wait and see how his injury is and if he is able to return to play.“What I do know about Mo is that for all these years he has taken so good care of his body that he will have the minimum time required to recover from an injury. Let’s hope for the best that he’s available.“But another injury after a win, that sums up our season.”Alexander Isak opened the scoring in the first half with his first league goal at Anfield since signing for Liverpool for a British record £125million from Newcastle United last September.Andy Robertson added a second and while Daniel Munoz pulled a controversial goal back for Palace with Reds goalkeeper Freddie Woodman injured, Florian Wirtz’s strike in stoppage time moved Slot’s side up into fourth place.And of Isak, Slot said: “Did anyone ever think we would say eight or nine months ago that it would take until the end of April for Alexander Isak to score his first Premier League goal for Liverpool at Anfield?“That sums up our season that such an unbelievable striker has such a long time with injuries and not being available to play.“It is really nice he has scored one.

When we signed him, we knew he could score goals and that is what he showed today.“Many times this season we had better chances than we had today. That’s why it is so important to have players who can score goals like this, that can give you a big lift in the game and that’s what we have missed for eight and nine months when we wasn’t available, and when he was available we all know he wasn’t at the level he can be.”Sky Sports, HBO Max, Netflix and Disney+ with Ultimate TV packageThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.
