Jurgen Klopp admission hands Son Heung-min major boost in Golden Boot race vs Mohamed Salah

Jurgen Klopp has admitted that he won't be taking "any risks" with his star player in the final game of the season, despite Mohamed Salah being the front runner for the Premier League's Golden Boot award. The Egyptian came off in Liverpool's FA Cup final win after just 33 minutes, with a groin issue.

Ahead of his side's 2-1 Southampton victory on Tuesday, Klopp gave an update on the injuries to Salah and Virgil van Dijk. "Virgil is definitely not [fit] but that was pretty much clear before the game already that we felt that this is the game to leave him out," the Liverpool boss explained.

"He has played a lot and at the moment with it being Saturday-Tuesday again, it was clear that they're both OK. So the target for both is that they can both be involved at the weekend [against Wolves], properly involved on the bench or starting or whatever."
