Liverpool's Mohamed Salah steps up fitness bid using oxygen chamber

Mohamed Salah posted a picture himself in an oxygen chamber on Thursday as he bids to overcome injury in time for Saturday's Merseyside derby against Everton and the Champions League quarterfinal second leg against Manchester City on Tuesday.

Salah had to come off early in the second half of the 3-0 first leg win over City at Anfield, with manager Jurgen Klopp saying the Egypt international had "felt sometimes something" in his leg.

Klopp added that he hoped Salah's injury was not serious but warned that he was a doubt for the derby at Goodison Park.

Oxygen chambers are widely used in sports for recovery purposes as they increase the supply of oxygen to injured areas and reduce swelling and pain.

The Daily Mail pictured Salah arriving at Spire Hospital in Liverpool on Thursday morning.
