Salah and Mane in 6,000-mile trip

League since November 29, spending 12 hours in the air before the FA Cup third-round tie with Everton. ‘We have everything organised,’ said Klopp. ‘We have two of the three best African players in our squad. We have to show them respect. If it had been a matchday, they wouldn’t have asked (to go). We sleep in a hotel the night before a game, they will sleep in a plane. That is all the difference.’ Salah will continue to be treated for a groin injury which ruled him out of yesterday’s trip to Turf Moor but, should he not make the squad against Everton, Klopp says it will have nothing to do with being in Ghana. ‘If Mo is not fit, it will not be for that,’ he said. ‘For our side, it is just a sign of respect.’
