In the 243rd Merseyside Derby on Saturday at Anfield, Liverpool and Everton were separated by Mohamed Salah’s second-half double.
The Egyptian’s sixth and seventh goals of the campaign lifted Liverpool to third place in the Premier League standings and gave the Reds the best possible start to a crucial few weeks.
In addition to the three points at Anfield, Liverpool will have been happy to have escaped any additional injuries or suspensions during a competitive match between the two teams on Saturday from across Stanley Park.
Thiago
Although the midfielder has yet to play for Liverpool this year, there is no estimated time frame for Thiago Alcantara’s return to full fitness.
According to Klopp, the Spaniard, whose last game for the Reds was in April, experienced a setback in his recuperation last month. No specific date for his return to action, though, has been disclosed.
Date of anticipated return: Unknown
