Mohamed Salah has returned to full training with Liverpool, providing a major boost ahead of Sunday's potential Premier League title decider against Manchester City. The Egyptian forward was pictured alongside teammates Dominik Szoboszlai and Darwin Nunez in a full session at Liverpool's Kirkby training base on Wednesday.
Salah has made only two appearances for the Reds in 2024, scoring twice in a 4-2 win over Newcastle on New Year's Day and netting as a substitute in a 4-1 victory at Brentford on February 17. He then suffered a recurrence of the hamstring injury that had ended his Africa Cup of Nations participation in January.
The 31-year-old could be in contention for Thursday's Europa League last-16 first leg against Sparta Prague in the Czech capital. Manager Jurgen Klopp had previously said of Salah's fitness: 'It is day by day as well with Mo. It's a similar area where he feels it a little bit. We have to see how it develops. It's nothing crazy, but we have to see.'
Goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher also took a full part in training, despite social media rumours suggesting he was injured. The Irishman will continue deputising for the injured Alisson Becker.
Salah's return will be welcome news for Klopp ahead of Sunday's showdown with City, though it remains unclear whether he will be risked for the trip to Prague. Egypt are also monitoring his fitness closely, with reports indicating they are keen to use him in the upcoming international break if he features for Liverpool beforehand.
