Lionel Messi is expected to miss out with an adductor problem, however, the Argentinian may be able to make the bench. Ousmane Dembele is also returning from injury and has only recently returned to training meaning he is unlikely to feature.

Inter boast an injury-free squad with Alexis Sanchez expected to make the starting line-up after scoring twice before being sent off against Sampdoria last week.

Salah: They made it tough

Mohamed Salah on BT Sport: "I think they (Salzburg) had a good game and after they scored three goals it become difficult to play them.

"We try to focus on each game and when we were winning by three, the human mind says: 'we need to score more goals.'

"They made it tough for us but I'm happy with the three points tonight."

Sadio Mane: "Salzburg are a really good team and after we went 3-0 up it was a tough game to try and push - but we deserved the win.

"To be honest, I knew how good Salzburg were as I was there for two and a half years.

"They never give up and push and they caused us problems, but finally we scored more goals."

Klopp: I'm not angry

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp to BT Sport: "It's better you learn the lesson in the game and not talk about it after. We started incredible well, we were outstanding in first 24 mins. Salzburg changed the system and the only problem was our mood.

"A couple of players wanted to control the game and a couple was lively. Nobody wants to defend. The second balls. When we lose the ball they had a player between the lines.

"The game changed for us it was really difficult to get a foot in the game again, we had to wait for them to score the third goal.

"I'm not angry I always wait to realise what I feel because I saw us playing very well and we took the wrong decision on how we want to approach the game.

"Momentum is an important thing you have to try and get it back, we didn't get it until the scoresheet was finally equal. We don't think we have to win each game at home five or six nil. We have to win that was the target.

"They're (Salzburg) not bad. The first 30 min was the most difficult for Salzburg ever because we were outstanding and everything we did was brilliant, the problem with this team is not the result, they want to enjoy the whole night.

"It's easy to find the mistakes, the general mistake was we lost control and that should not happen, it's easy to point the finger, we all there was no common approach, that makes life difficult.

"I don't see that it depends we are champions, we open the door of the game for Salzburg and that's what they try to use, that's what they will try to use. Genk they lost the first game in this group six-two and draw with Napoli tonight. This group is really difficult we are in it, so game on."
