Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp could be without Mohamed Salah for Tuesday's Champions League match against Barcelona after the Egyptian was carried off with a head injury in Saturday's 3-2 win at Newcastle. Klopp said it was too soon to say whether Salah would be able to play against Barca. "What I heard, he got the hip of the goalie on his head," Klopp said. "He was then on the ground and the doc had to make a decision 'on the pitch or off the pitch' and the decision was off the pitch. We accept that of course. "When we came in he was sitting in the dressing room watching the game on television. So he was then fine, but of course we have to wait. He got a proper knock, obviously, in that situation."

Firmino, who has a muscular injury, was not included in the match day squad for Saturday's game and Klopp said he will not feature against the Spaniards as Liverpool look to overturn a 3-0 deficit from the first leg. "He will not be ready for Tuesday and the rest we will see," said Klopp, whose side face Wolves in their final Premier League game on May 12.

On Saturday in the Reds' match with Newcastle, superstar attacker Mohamed Salah was carted off in tears in the second half after a collision with Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka. The goalkeeper came out to fight for a ball, and his body made contact with Salah's head, sending the Egyptian star to the ground, with his head also hitting the ground pretty hard. Players from Newcastle quickly went to check on him, and it just seemed like he had a bit of a knock and maybe wasn't too seriously hurt, but that quickly changed after the medical staff checked him out. He wasn't knocked out, but he seemed close. Salah then grabbed his face and began crying as he was carted off the field. Here's how it looked: No official word is out as to what exactly the injury is, but it's safe to say it doesn't look good. Liverpool has two more games left this season, at least, with the Champions League semifinal second leg against Barcelona on Tuesday. CBS Sports will update this story as more info becomes available.<doc-sep>LIVERPOOL -- Mohamed Salah has been ruled out of Liverpool's Champions League semifinal match against Barcelona on Tuesday after manager Jurgen Klopp confirmed the forward was concussed during Saturday's Premier League win at Newcastle. Liverpool must overturn a 3-0 first-leg deficit when they meet at Anfield in order to reach the Champions League final for the second successive season. But with Roberto Firmino already sidelined with a muscular injury, Klopp revealed on Monday that Salah will also miss the game as a result of the injury sustained when colliding with Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka at St James' Park over the weekend. "Both of them are unavailable for tomorrow," Klopp said at his prematch news conference at Anfield. "Two of the world's best strikers are not available, and we have to score four goals to go through in 90 minutes. "It doesn't make life easier, but as long as we have 11 players on the pitch, we will try. ... If we can do it, wonderful, and if not, fail in the most beautiful way." Salah is expected to feature against Wolverhampton Wanderers in Liverpool's final Premier League game of the season on Sunday, but Klopp said the clash with Barcelona was too soon for the 26-year-old. "It's a concussion, so Mo is not allowed to play," Klopp added. "He feels OK, but it's not good enough from a medical point of view, that's all. "Together with our supporters this was a long season, and there's a little chance to make it even longer. If not, these are the last two home games of an incredible season. We should celebrate it with a good performance on the pitch and in the stands." Due to medical regulations relating to concussions, Salah will not be able to train until Saturday, but the Egyptian should therefore be able to play against Wolves on Sunday in what could be a title decider for Klopp's team. Salah's absence is a major blow for Klopp and Liverpool, who already face a difficult task in scoring at least three goals to salvage the tie on Tuesday. Without the Premier League's leading goal scorer and Firmino, Klopp could be forced to play both Divock Origi and Daniel Sturridge in attack alongside Sadio Mane. The Liverpool manager fielded Dutch midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum in his forward three during the 3-0 defeat at the Camp Nou on Wednesday, but Klopp is expected to field a more attack-minded player on Tuesday. When asked about the injuries, Barcelona striker Luis Suarez said Liverpool still have plenty of capable replacements to threaten the La Liga champs. "Obviously [Salah and Firmino] are big absences for them," the former Liverpool man said. "But it doesn't change anything in terms of how we approach the game. They have other players to come in with a lot of qualities. "We have a lot of respect for them. Salah is a very important player, in the top three of the world in the last couple of years. It's a big miss for them, but they have players like Origi, [Xherdan] Shaqiri, Sturridge who can come in. Quality players." Defender Trent Alexander-Arnold said Liverpool would have to be fearless to have a chance of progressing. "That's the only way we're going to get a result. If we get caught up in fearing their players, then that's not really going to work," he said. "We have had decent results this season where we have scored more than three goals, and being at home helps us. There's still that sense of belief, but we know it's going to be hard. But anything is possible, especially at Anfield." Information from Reuters was used in this report.<doc-sep>
(CNN) It was a sight that gave Liverpool fans plenty of reason for concern as the Reds approach the defining week in the club's season. Leading English Premier League scorer Mo Salah left the field on a stretcher after suffering a head injury in the second half of Liverpool's victory against Newcastle United on Saturday. Manager Jurgen Klopp has said the forward will be assessed before a decision is made on whether he will face Barcelona in the second leg of the Champions League semifinal on Tuesday, where a 3-0 deficit must be overturned if Klopp's men are to reach the final.

"He was OK," Klopp said after the match, further revealing that the player, who scored Liverpool's second goal in a thrilling 3-2 win, watched the rest of the match in the dressing room. "The doctor had to make a decision - on the pitch or off the pitch - and the decision was off the pitch and we accept that of course. "When we came in, he was sitting in the dressing room and had watched the game. He was then fine but of course we have to wait. He got a proper knock in that situation. We'll have to see." In an Instagram post, Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren further eased fans' worries. "Yes he is okay. (He) just can't remember who I am. Don't worry he will be fine, Mo is a monster," was Lovren's reply to a concerned fan. Salah's replacement, Divock Origi, was the matchwinner at Newcastle, scoring the late winner which ensures that the English Premier League title will be decided on the final day of the season. In a blow to Liverpool's Champions League hopes, however, Klopp confirmed that the injured Roberto Firmino would not be fit to face Lionel Messi and co at Anfield on Tuesday.
