Mohamed Salah was named on the substitutes’ bench for Liverpool’s trip to Arsenal on Wednesday.
The Egyptian sustained a foot injury in the 2-0 win at Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday, having already scored a penalty at the Amex Stadium.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp was confident the Premier League’s top scorer would be fit for the game at Emirates Stadium, labelling him a “tough cookie”, but Salah was only deemed fit for the bench.
Klopp made two changes from the team that won at Brighton, with Thiago Alcantara and Diogo Jota replacing Naby Keita and Salah.
Salah leads the league’s scoring charts with 20 goals, comfortably ahead of Jota, Sadio Mane and Cristiano Ronaldo (12).
