Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has given a mixed update on the team's injury situation.
Mohamed Salah will not be playing against Nottingham Forest this Saturday, but Darwin Nunez and Dominik Szoboszlai might be able to play as they have returned to team training.

Klopp shared that Salah could be back in team training next week. He also confirmed that Nunez and Szoboszlai are making good progress in their recovery from injuries.

"But I think next week, at any point, it is possible. So he is on the way back, definitely, but not there yet."

"Wataru and Robbo didn't (train yesterday), but the plan is they join in today," Klopp added. "That's the idea but we have to see if that really works out."
"Ibou (Konate), it was nothing. Just time-sharing. Lucho (Diaz) is fine. Macca (Alexis Mac Allister) is fine. They all
