Liverpool’s star forward, Mohamed Salah, who has been sidelined due to injury since his return from the African Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, is on the verge of a comeback. The Egyptian international might make an appearance in tonight’s Europa League clash against Sparta Prague, as confirmed by Liverpool’s manager, Jürgen Klopp.
Despite Salah’s recent return to collective training, Klopp remained cautious about determining Salah’s role in the match.
“Mo traveled. He’s with us, he trained for two days, so full of energy. We have to see. But it’s so good that he’s back, it’s really good for us, and you can see on his face that he’s very happy!” remarked Klopp.
Salah’s presence in the squad for the round of 16 first leg encounter with Sparta Prague marks a positive turn of events for Liverpool, providing them with a potential boost in the attacking department.
Klopp’s comments suggest that while Salah’s return to the starting lineup is not guaranteed, his inclusion in the squad signifies a significant step forward in his recovery.
The anticipation among Liverpool fans is palpable as they eagerly await to see whether Salah will grace the pitch in tonight’s crucial Europa League fixture.
If the Egyptian forward does make an appearance, it could have broader implications for his potential call-up to the national team, despite his recent injury concerns, presenting a compelling storyline for both club and country.
