Liverpool’s winger, Mohamed Salah, is back in full training with the Reds following his recovery from a muscular injury acquired during the Africa Cup of Nations.
The Egyptian king, known for his resilience, wasted no time returning to Merseyside after sustaining the injury against Ghana in his team’s second group match.
His absence from four Premier League matches, both legs of the Carabao Cup semi-final, and two FA Cup ties resulted from his involvement in the Africa Cup of Nations and subsequent injury.
However, there’s hope for his return to the squad this weekend, as he was observed participating in team training at the club’s AXA Training Centre on Tuesday afternoon.
Photos from Liverpool’s training session uploaded later in the day showed Salah being put through his paces with the ball at his feet, although whether he is available for this weekend’s clash with Brentford remains to be seen.

Prior to the beating of Burnley, Klopp told the media that Salah was on track to resume “parts of training” this week, as the attacker closes in on his first Liverpool appearance since New Year’s Day.
As well as Salah’s return to training, Alisson Becker and Joe Gomez were also present at Kirkby after a bout of flu – which made its way around Liverpool’s training base – kept them out of Saturday’s success over Burnley.
Ibrahima Konate will also return from suspension for the trip to Brentford on Saturday, and Conor Bradley – who has missed two games following the death of his father – was involved in Tuesday’s training session too.
However, there was no sign of Trent Alexander-Arnold, who tweaked his knee against the Clarets over the weekend, or Dominik Szoboszlai, whose hamstring injury could potentially rule him out of the EFL Cup final with Chelsea on February 25.
Joel Matip (knee) and Stefan Bajcetic (calf) remain out for the long-term, and Thiago Alcantara – only just back from a nasty hip problem – has re-entered the medical bay with a new muscle injury sustained in the loss to Arsenal.
