Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he has no concerns about Mohamed Salah's fitness ahead of their Champions League clash with Napoli.

Salah was an unused substitute in the 2-1 win at Crystal Palace on Saturday after missing training with an ankle problem.

"Mo Salah looks really good," Klopp said  on Tuesday. "I'm not worried about it."

Klopp also provided an update on the fitness of defender Joel Matip, who has been sidelined with a knee injury. "Joel is improving but is some time away," he said. "There will be a scan this week and then we will see how it is."

Liverpool – who currently sit top of Group E, one point ahead of the Italians – won their last European match when they defeated Genk 2-1 at Anfield.

Midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum had put the Reds in front after 14 minutes only for the Belgian side to grab a surprise equaliser just before half-time through Mbwana Samatta.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain clinched all three points when he finished low into the bottom corner after 53 minutes.

Napoli, meanwhile, drew 1-1 at home to Red Bull Salzburg and were prevented from becoming the first team to qualify for the last 16.
