Klopp juggles lineup for showdown with Everton

LIVERPOOL - Mohamed Salah's fitness, Philippe Coutinho's future and Virgil van Dijk's arrival are the three key issues facing Liverpool as it prepares to host neighbor Everton in the FA Cup's outstanding third-round tie on Friday.

Salah, who leads the Reds with 23 goals, missed Monday's 2-1 Premier League victory at Burnley because of a groin injury, and manager Jurgen Klopp has indicated his status remains in doubt.

Despite that, Klopp was happy for Egypt international Salah and Senegal forward Sadio Mane were both allowed to fly to Ghana for an awards ceremony on Thursday.
