Mohamed Salah has handed Liverpool a boost ahead of their clash with Manchester City.
Salah last featured for Jurgen Klopp’s side in their win over Newcastle United at the start of January before preparing to represent Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations.
He was subsequently sidelined by a hamstring injury which kept him out for six weeks which saw a brief return in the win at Brentford before another fortnight out.
But Salah offered the Reds hopes of featuring in Sunday’s top-of-the-table clash at Anfield by returning to training ahead of the Europa League trip to Sparta Prague.
“Mo has travelled with us and has trained for two days. He is full of energy, and we have to see, but it is so good that he is back,” said Klopp.
“It is really good and you can see it in his face. It was a very unlikely situation being that long out and then he came back against Brentford, played an incredible game, and was then out again.
“We want to be careful, we have to be careful, but we’re in the middle of a super-intense period of the season and we need everyone. So let’s see how long we can use him. It’s just good news.”
The Liverpool manager also refused to be drawn into the debate over Salah’s return seeing him recalled by Egypt ahead of the upcoming March international break.
He added: “That is nothing to do with us.
“That will be decided by different departments. Let’s see how long he can play now. He has only been two days in team training.
“In a different situation players are not in the squad at this moment but now the situation makes sense. What can you give them? How much can you use them?
“And then these two games with Egypt, it is really not up to me. We’re not involved. You can discuss it with other departments, let me say it like that.”
