Liverpool's Mohamed Salah stretchered off at Newcastle after collision with Martin Dubravka

Mohamed Salah was stretchered off during Liverpool's clash with Newcastle after a heavy collision with opposition goalkeeper Martin Dubravka.

The Egyptian went down after colliding with the Newcastle number one and received lengthy treatment on the pitch before eventually leaving the field on a stretcher.

Salah was applauded by all sides of St James' Park following the injury, which came with 20 minutes left of a pulsating game against Rafael Benitez's side.

The winger had earlier given Liverpool a 2-1 lead in the game with a clever, right-foot finish. Belgian striker Divock Origi was his replacement.

Salah is now likely to be a huge doubt for Tuesday's meeting with Barcelona at Anfield.

The injury is another huge blow for Liverpool after Roberto Firmino was ruled out of both the trip to the North East and the Champions League semi-final second leg against Barca.

The Brazilian striker could now miss the end of the season after struggling with a groin injury in recent weeks.
