Liverpool stars Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson are set to miss this weekend’s Premier League clash with Crystal Palace.

Sky Sports are reporting both players have failed to recover from their ankle injuries and will not be available for selection at Selhurst Park.

Salah has been having trouble with his ankle ever since the challenge from Hamza Choudhury against Leicester City last month, which drew criticism from Jurgen Klopp.

The Egyptian took another knock to it against Manchester City before the international break.

Robertson has been struggling with his issue for several weeks and has been carefully managed behind the scenes at Melwood according to a report from The Liverpool Echo.

Neither player had any involvement for their countries over the international break, but it would appear the Palace game has come too soon.

TBR’s view – Robertson the bigger miss

Arguably full-back Robertson will be the greater miss for Liverpool this weekend, with Wilfried Zaha known to be a thorn in the side of James Milner down the years.

Salah is obviously a quality player, but right now he isn’t in full flow like Sadio Mane, and one gets the feeling the Reds will able to manage in the final third without him.

Klopp can call on Divock Origi or the fit-again Xherdan Shaqiri to fill in, but Palace can cause problems down the Liverpool left against likely Robertson deputy Milner.
