Mohamed Salah is a doubt for Liverpool's opening game of 2018 against Burnley on New Year's Day.
Salah scored a brace in 2-1 win over Leicester City on match day 20.
“I don’t know in this moment exactly [what it is],” said Jürgen Klopp after the game. “We have to see what his problem was. We will see what he can do for the next game.”
It has been learnt that Simon Mignolet will return in goal on Monday.
The Belgian was a substitute for the 2-1 victory over the Foxes at Anfield, with Loris Karius deployed as the manager opted to rotate in the interests of freshness.
But Klopp confirmed during his post-match media duties that Mignolet – who made his 200th appearance for the club on Boxing Day – is set to start at Turf Moor.
“[The medical department] will tell me who is available for playing again and that’s all I need to know. Then I’ll make the line-up,” the boss explained.
“I don’t know exactly how many changes we will make but I would say for sure more than one.”
Meanwhile, Burnley boss, Sean Dyche has James Tarkowski available for selection again after the Clarets defender served a three-match suspension for violent conduct.
Asked if he will attempt to rotate for the visit of the Reds, he said: “We’ll try. We’re stretched at the moment with injuries. We’ll see what we can do. The main thing is to recover, see how the lads are and we’ll take it from there.”
