Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota - Liverpool injury news and return dates ahead of Carabao Cup final
Jurgen Klopp admitted Liverpool will have to monitor the fitness of Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez "day by day" ahead of Sunday's League Cup final against Chelsea.
The forward duo, who have scored 32 goals for the Reds across all competitions this term, sat out of Wednesday's 4-1 thrashing over Luton Town at Anfield, casting doubt over whether they will be fit for this weekend's showpiece final against the Londoners.
Should the pair fail to prove their fitness ahead of Sunday's venture to the capital, they will join Trent Alexander-Arnold, Thiago Alcantara, Diogo Jota, Joel Matip, Alisson Becker, Curtis Jones, Stefan Bajcetic and Ben Doak on the sidelines. And ahead of Sunday's final, here's the latest injury update from Anfield.

Mohamed Salah
As it stands, Salah's involvement in Sunday's League Cup final is touch-and-go after the forward suffered an injury setback after making his return against Brentford last weekend.
The Egyptian had missed Liverpool's last eight games across all competitions prior to his return in West London, but Klopp revealed the forward will be assessed daily ahead of the final.
Speaking after Wednesday's 4-1 over Luton Town, which Salah was absent from, Klopp said: "The situation is not great, absolutely not, we don’t have to make that now nicer than it is. I’m so happy that all the kids came on and played, Dannsy [Jayden Danns] said 50 times, ‘Thank you, boss!’ I’m so happy that I could give him that opportunity, the boys deserve it.
"But obviously for us there are now a lot of super-important games coming up, and we don’t know, we go day by day.
