Liverpool were given a huge boost when forward Mohamed Salah returned to training on Wednesday after spending more than two weeks out due to a hamstring injury.
His return comes a day ahead of Liverpool’s Europa League clash with Sparta Prague, and four days before the Premier League leaders host defending champions Manchester City on Sunday.

Salah, who has scored 19 goals for Liverpool this season in all competitions, was previously injured while representing Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations. He has not played since Feb. 17 when he came off the bench and scored in a 4-1 win at Brentford.
Salah’s status and potential return will be clearer later on Wednesday when manager Jurgen Klopp speaks to the reporters ahead of their round of 16 tie.
Liverpool, City and Arsenal are in a three-way race for the Premier League title this season, with the three teams separated by just two points after 27 games.
