Jurgen Klopp has revealed that both Mohamed Salah and Philippe Coutinho are unavailable for Liverpool‘s FA Cup clash with Everton.
Salah, who has scored 23 goals in all competitions this term, played no part in Liverpool’s 2-1 victory over Burnley on Monday night after limping off with a groin injury in the side’s victory over Leicester.
Jose Mourinho breaks silence on rumours he's set to quit Manchester United
Klopp suggested earlier this week that both Salah and Coutinho [thigh] were doubts for Liverpool’s third round tie with Everton.
And, speaking at a press conference before the Merseyside derby, Klopp confirmed: ‘Mo and Phil are not available.
‘With Virgil [van Dijk] it’s different, I have to make a decision for this game, it’s not finally done.
‘It’s clear centre-half is a position you need to be in tune with the team.
‘Everybody is desperate to see him on the pitch, but from out point of view, there’s no rush.’
The German revealed that Simon Mignolet will be handed a rest and Loris Karius will come in to face the Toffees.
He said: ‘Loris will start. Wardy is up, Simon has a little break.
‘The plan for [Danny] Ward is when I speak to him, not to the press.

‘We had requests from other clubs for loans. It’s like the season has already finished in January with clubs getting all the players.
‘No rush. We cannot help other clubs before thinking of ourselves.’
