before Sunday’s probable championship matchup between Liverpool and Manchester City, Mohamed Salah is back in full training with the Reds.
The Egyptian has only made two appearances for the Reds in 2024: on New Year’s Day, in the 4-2 victory against Newcastle, and on February 17, in the 4-1 triumph at Brentford, after coming off the bench.
Salah’s Africa Cup of Nations campaign was cut short after that West London match due to a hamstring injury, and he has been forced to watch on as Liverpool has won the Carabao Cup, advanced in the FA Cup, and continued their impressive league form in recent weeks.

Caoimhin Kelleher participated fully in the session as well, despite some speculations on social media on Tuesday that he was hurt. In Alisson Becker’s absence due to injury, the Irishman will continue to hold the goal for the Reds.
Jurgen Klopp will be relieved to see Salah back in the starting lineup ahead of the match against City, but it’s unclear if he’ll be risked for the trip to Prague. Last week, Klopp stated, “It is day by day as well with Mo,” in reference to his level of fitness. There’s a comparable place where he experiences some weariness. We must see how it progresses. It’s not crazy, but we still need to observe.

Now, Liverpool will travel to the Czech capital before holding their pre-match press conference on Wednesday night. Klopp will undoubtedly face questions about Salah’s fitness during this press conference.
Egypt will be keeping a careful eye on their lucky guy’s health, and if he plays for Liverpool before then, they plan to use him during the next international break, according to sources.
