Liverpool have received a significant boost as Mohamed Salah, the star Egyptian forward, has travelled with the team to Prague for Thursday's Europa League clash against Sparta Prague.
Salah's return comes after a recent period of absence due to muscle fatigue, which caused him to miss the last four games.
The 31-year-old, who has only played 46 minutes for Liverpool since his early departure from the Africa Cup of Nations in January due to a hamstring injury, made a substitute appearance against Brentford on February 17, scoring a goal before being sidelined with the muscle issue.
Salah participated in training with the rest of the Liverpool squad on Wednesday, raising hopes of his potential involvement in the last 16 first-leg match against Sparta Prague.
His availability is particularly crucial for Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp as they face a vital clash with Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday.
With City trailing Liverpool by just one point in the title race, Salah's return adds depth and firepower to the Reds' lineup.
Despite Salah's absence, Liverpool managed to secure victories in the League Cup final against Chelsea and league matches against Luton, Southampton, and Nottingham Forest. However, having Salah back in the squad is considered a significant morale boost as they approach the final weeks of Klopp's last season in charge.
Salah has been a key contributor to Liverpool's success, scoring 19 goals in all competitions this season, including 15 in 21 league games. Klopp has opted to take his strongest available squad to Prague, and players like Darwin Nunez and Wataru Endo are in contention to start after making substitute appearances in the recent win against Nottingham Forest.
