181 Liverpool gave their fans a nice boost on a grey Tuesday afternoon by sharing footage of Mohamed Salah back in training.
The Reds talisman has not played for Jurgen Klopp‘s side since New Year’s Day after suffering a hamstring injury in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Salah limped off just before half-time during Egypt’s 2-2 draw with Ghana on January 18, and medical tests showed that he’d be out of action for a month.
The Pharaohs exited the tournament at the last-16 stage in the Liverpool man’s absence, who was then able to focus fully on a rehabilitation programme at the AXA Training Centre.
Now, after missing eight Liverpool games through a combination of international duty and road to recovery, Salah has returned to the Reds training pitches.
Liverpool shared footage on social media – such as Instagram – of the £34million man leading the way and smiling as he went to retrieve the ball from one of the lines.
Liverpool fans buzzing over Mohamed Salah return to training
Over 160,000 fans – and counting – liked the footage, and there were plenty of comments welcoming Salah back into the fold, including former Reds defender Jose Enrique.
The 38-year-old, an active presence on football social media including Liverpool-related topics, posted an applause emoji.
Liverpool have fared well in Salah’s absence, sitting top of the Premier League table and reaching the Carabao Cup final and the last 16 of the FA Cup.
That said, Salah is an absolutely indispensable player for the Reds and will no doubt go straight into the starting XI if he’s available.
Salah has 18 goals and nine assists from 27 Liverpool outings in all competitions this term. His return to the fold will be crucial for the Reds to claim silverware in Klopp’s final season at Anfield.
