Mohamed Salah left out as Liverpool team for Arsenal confirmed

Mohamed Salah is only fit enough for the Liverpool substitutes' bench as they are entertained by Arsenal tonight.

The Egypt international hurt his foot during Saturday's 2-0 win at Brighton and was brought off for Diogo Jota as a precaution at the Amex Stadium.

Salah returned to training this week but is only part of the nine-man bench as Jota comes into the side instead.

Thiago Alcantara is selected alongside Fabinho and Jordan Henderson as Jurgen Klopp names an unchanged back five from the team that beat Brighton at the weekend.

A powerful bench sees Salah joined by Roberto Firmino, Naby Keita and Ibrahima Konate for a game that could see the Reds close the gap on Premier League leaders Manchester City to just one point.

Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Thiago; Diaz, Jota, Mane.

Subs: Kelleher, Konate, Keita, Firmino, Salah, Gomez, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jones, Minamino.
