Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson admits Mohamed Salah is an injury concern after their FA Cup final victory over Chelsea.

Cup glory might well have come at a cost for Liverpool, however, with Klopp forced to withdraw top scorer Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Andrew Robertson at various stages during the final.

Van Dijk failed to re-emerge for extra time, although Klopp later claimed the defender suffered a "hurt muscle" but was "fine" while Robertson's issues appeared to be cramp-related.

Most concerning, though, was the sight of a disconsolate Salah trudging off in the first half, with the Premier League title race approaching its conclusion and just a fortnight before the Champions League final with Real Madrid.

"It was a big blow with Mo going off," Henderson told BBC Sport.

"But that's what we're all about. The attitude to dig deep and to win it on penalties is incredible.

"We're here to lift trophies, we work so hard all season. It's a big moment for us, we haven't come this far, [and been] in this final, for some time, so to win it was special.

"It's incredible some of the talent we have got and the personalities in the dressing room. You put that together and you win trophies."
