Liverpool DON'T need to sign a forward in January if Mo Salah and Co stay injury free, believes Ian Rush... as ex-forward praises Egyptian for taking his game 'to a different level'

Liverpool do not need to bolster their attacking options in the January transfer window if their current options can all boast a clean bill of health, according to club legend Ian Rush.

The Reds will be without star forwards Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane for the best part of the first two months of 2022, with the Egypt and Senegal internationals due to compete in the delayed 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.

Jurgen Klopp also suffered an injury scare earlier this week when Portugal boss Fernando Santos revealed Diogo Jota - who has replaced Roberto Firmino as the No 9 at Anfield this term - sat out group training and could be sent back to Anfield early.
