Mohamed Salah is hopeful that he will be fit for Liverpool's Champions League final clash against Real Madrid, according to journalist James Pearce.
The Lowdown: Salah injured in final win
The Reds enjoyed FA Cup glory on Saturday following a dramatic penalty shoot-out win over Chelsea at Wembley, winning their second trophy of the season.
Salah didn't even make it to half-time, though, limping off with a groin injury and immediately sparking concern surrounding his involvement in the Champions League final on May 28th.
However, a hopeful update has now emerged regarding the 29-year-old's situation.

The Latest: Pearce provides Salah injury update
Taking to Twitter on Saturday night a few hours after the FA Cup final, Pearce confirmed that Salah is confident of being fit for the Champions League showpiece against Real Madrid in Paris.
The journalist tweeted: " 'Of course, all good' says Mo Salah when asked if he will be fit for the CL final in Paris."
The Verdict: Wrap him in cotton wool
While there is no official confirmation surrounding the severity of Salah's injury, that he believes he will be fit for the 28th is certainly an enormous positive.
Having gone off injured in the 2018 decider against the same opposition, it would be cruel for the 29-year-old to suffer Champions League final heartache yet again - more importantly, Liverpool need arguably their best player on the pitch.
Salah will do all he can to prove himself, although Jurgen Klopp should be wary of not letting his heart rule his head in the meantime, only starting the Egyptian if he is ready.
There is enough depth in the squad to make do without him from the start these days, which is a very different situation to four years ago. Therefore, Klopp must wrap the 29-year-old in cotton wool for the Premier League games against Southampton and Wolves this week.
