Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expects to be able to call upon Mohamed Salah for his side’s final Premier League game of the season.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Egyptian missed Liverpool’s dramatic Champions League semi-final comeback against Barcelona in midweek due to a concussion sustained in Liverpool’s win over Newcastle United the previous weekend.<\/p>\n

How will Liverpool line up against Wolves? Five key things to know…<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Liverpool go into Sunday’s game against Wolves harbouring slim hopes of winning the Premier League.<\/li>\n
  2. The Reds sit a point behind Manchester City, who face Brighton on the final day of the Premier League season.<\/li>\n
  3. And Liverpool will be able to call upon Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson and Jordan Henderson for the visit of Wolves.<\/li>\n
  4. Salah missed the 4-0 win over Barcelona in midweek through injury while Robertson had to come off at half-time.<\/li>\n
  5. However, Sunday will be too soon for Roberto Firmino who is still suffering with a muscle injury.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    But with Liverpool hosting Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday hanging onto their slim hopes of winning the Premier League, Salah is expected to be back among the starting XI.<\/p>\n

    Klopp told reporters<\/a>: \u201cMo looked good around the celebrations after the game, to be honest!<\/p>\n

    “The day before yesterday and yesterday he was running outside and will be part of training today.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Though not reaching the absurd heights of last season, Salah has had another excellent campaign for Liverpool and leads the race for the Golden Boot with 22 goals.<\/p>\n

    And the Egyptian is 3\/1 to be the first goalscorer at Anfield on Sunday, joint-favourite alongside the equally-impressive Sadio Mane.<\/p>\n

    Liverpool will also be able to call upon Andrew Robertson who had to come off at half-time against Barcelona with a calf injury – which forced Klopp into the game-changing substitution of Georginio Wijnaldum.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThe famous three words of this week in the dressing room: \u2018It\u2019s only pain\u2019,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

    \u201cVery important for all the young lads to learn, I\u2019ve said that already to the boys. Hendo said, \u2018It\u2019s only pain\u2019, Robbo said, \u2018It\u2019s only pain\u2019 – but it was real pain, wow!<\/p>\n

    \u201cUnfortunately, Robbo could deal with the pain but only the rest of his body couldn\u2019t because he couldn\u2019t really activate the muscle anymore, some nerve hit or whatever. They should be fine [for Sunday].\u201d<\/p>\n

    However, Sunday is expected to be too soon for Roberto Firmino though Klopp is holding out hope for a return in the Champions League final.<\/p>\n

    He said: \u201cBobby not [available] for the weekend, but we have time [before the Champions League final] and that should be enough.\u201d<\/p>\n
