Liverpool could receive a significant injury boost ahead of their top-of-the-table Premier League meeting with Manchester City on Sunday.
According to DaveOCKOP, Mo Salah is scheduled to resume full training today after suffering a recurrence of a muscular injury after his brief comeback in the 4-1 win over Brentford last month.
That is the 31-year-old’s sole appearance for his club since New Year’s Day, after his participation with Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations was cut short by a hamstring ailment.
Salah will not be risked for the Europa League tie against Sparta Prague on Thursday, but if he comes through almost a full week of training uninjured, he might have a chance of starring against Man city.
His probable comeback for Sunday would be a massive boost for Liverpool heading into that mammoth clash, especially with Diogo Jota out injured for at least a few weeks.
If the 31-year-old plays against City, it might spark a power struggle with Egypt, whose FA has stated that if he plays for his club in the meantime, he will be called up for their March games.
That’s a battle for another day; Liverpool‘s priority right now is to bring him back into full training so he can maybe play against Pep Guardiola‘s team.
In the next days, many eyes will be on the AXA Training Centre to see if a certain Egyptian King makes an appearance.
