(Reuters) - Liverpool's in-form striker Mohamed Salah has a minor hamstring issue and manager Juergen Klopp said he could rest the Premier League's top scorer during the busy festive period to avoid aggravating the problem.

Salah, who has scored 13 league goals, was substituted after 67 minutes in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Everton and is contention for Wednesday's fixture against West Bromwich Albion. Klopp, however, is keen to manage his resources with six games coming up in the next 18 days.
