Liverpool fans fear the worst as Philippe Coutinho and Mo Salah do NOT make the trip to Burnley
Coutinho has been linked with Barcelona while Salah picked up an injury in the win against Leicester
LIVERPOOL fans are fearing the worst as neither Philippe Coutinho or Mohamed Salah made the trip to Burnley.
As Reds players arrived on a coach at Turf Moor, the star pairing did not get off.
The news will come as a bitter blow for supporters who had been hoping for good news after a weekend of turmoil.
Coutinho has been linked with Barcelona since last summer but a Nike gaffe appeared to show his deal with the Spanish giants was already done.
His name appeared on the Nike website with viewers told they could get a Barca shirt with his name on the back.
Jurgen Klopp had been sweating on the fitness of 23-goal Salah.
