The Egyptian star collided with goalkeeper Martin Dubravka in the 73rd minute. The match was stopped for a long time while the attacker was dealt with in the field. He was applauded by both groups of supporters when he left the field.
Manager Jurgen Klopp said the striker would be assessed before a decision was taken as to whether he would face Barcelona in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final on Tuesday, where a 3-0 deficit should be canceled if Klopp's men reach the final.

"It was OK," Klopp said after the match, revealing that the player, who had scored Liverpool's second goal in a thrilling 3-2 victory, had watched the rest of the match in the locker room.

"The doctor had to make a decision – on the ground or off the field – and the decision was off the court and we accept it of course.

"When we came in, he was sitting in the locker room and watching the game, he was fine, but of course we have to wait, he was knocked on the right door in this situation, we will have to see."

In an Instagram post, Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren has again eased fans' worries.

"Yes, he's fine. (He) I do not remember who I am, do not worry, everything will be fine, Mo is a monster," Lovren told a worried fan.

Salah's replacement, Divock Origi, was the winner of the match in Newcastle, scoring the last winner, which guarantees that the English Premier League title will be decided on the last day of the season.
