(Reuters) - Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said Champions League visitors Napoli will be tough to beat on Wednesday night regardless of the situation at the Italian club, where the president is reportedly in a standoff with his coach and players.
Klopp confirmed that forward Mohamed Salah, who missed the weekend's Premier League win at Crystal Palace with an injury, was back in training.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti's Napoli are second in Group E, a point behind Liverpool, and are not yet assured of qualification for the last 16 with two games to go. But Klopp said playing away from Italy may give the players a welcome break. "Napoli gave us a proper fight at Anfield last season ... We expect them to be strong. Whatever has happened, I don't have a real idea. But if I was a player, I'd be trying to bring the group together and fight the things from outside.
A win for either side will assure qualification with a game to spare, and both teams will qualify regardless of the result if winless Genk beat Red Bull Salzburg.
