Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he has no concerns about Mohamed Salah's fitness ahead of tomorrow night's Champions League clash with Napoli. Salah was sidelined in the 2-1 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday because of an ankle problem. “Salah is fine. I'm not worried about that,” said Klopp, who also gave an update on the condition of defender Joel Matip, who is complaining of a knee injury. “Joel is improving. There will be more tests and we will see how it goes.” Victory over Carlo Ancelotti's side will secure champions Liverpool's top spot in Group E with a game to spare but Klopp said his side cannot afford to look beyond tomorrow's game. “The biggest mistake we could make is to think we have already won and what would happen if we win,” added Klopp. “These things are not in our minds. Of course we try to win the game, it would be massive for us after the start to the tournament we have had. Napoli are a dangerous opponent. There are two weeks between tomorrow night's match and the Salzburg match, the last match of the group, and there are three games in between. Why should I think about the Salzburg match now?”, he concluded.
