Salah fit to face City

Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that star striker Mohamed Salah is back from injury and will be available to face Manchester City in Sunday's Premier League blockbuster at Anfield.

The Egypt international was ruled out of the Africa Cup of Nations after picking up a hamstring injury in the group stages and, although he made a brief return in a 4-1 win over Brentford in mid-February, he has not featured for Liverpool since. 

However, Reds boss Klopp has now confirmed Salah is fit to face City in a huge title clash this weekend. 

"He is with us and has trained two days, he is full of energy, we have to see. But it is so good that he is back. It is really good and you can see he is happy," Klopp said prior to Liverpool's first leg match against Sparta Prague in the last 16 of the Europa League.

"It's an unusual situation being that long out and then he came back against Brentford, played an incredible game and was then out again.

"Two days in team training: in a different situation players are not in the squad in this moment but now the situation makes sense.

"We want to be careful, we have to be careful but we're in the middle of a super-intense period of the season and we need everyone.

"So let's see how long we can use him and these kinds of things. Yes, it's just good news."
