Salah Fit for Liverpool vs Man City; Slot Provides Squad Update

Mohamed Salah is available for Liverpool's FA Cup quarter-final against Manchester City on Saturday, manager Arne Slot has confirmed. The Egyptian returned to full training this week after missing the Premier League defeat to Brighton before the international break due to injury.

Salah's fitness boost comes after his bombshell announcement during the international break that this will be his final season at Anfield. Despite having 12 months remaining on his contract, the 33-year-old is expected to leave on a free transfer, with a move to Saudi Arabia heavily speculated.

Slot also provided an update on Alexander Isak, who has been out since December with a broken leg. The Swedish striker trained for the first time in 101 days on Thursday, but Slot indicated it is too soon for him to start. However, he did not rule out Isak being named on the bench for a brief cameo.

Jeremie Frimpong and Federico Chiesa will be assessed on Friday after picking up injuries while on international duty. Goalkeeper Alisson remains sidelined for several weeks with a long-term issue, while Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni, and Wataru Endo are also unavailable.

Liverpool face a crucial run of fixtures, including a Champions League quarter-final against holders Paris Saint-Germain. The Reds are still competing on three fronts despite surrendering their Premier League title, with Salah aiming to end his legendary stint with more silverware.
