Salah back in Liverpool training ahead of Man City showdown

Liverpool received a huge boost when striker Mohamed Salah returned to training on Wednesday after missing more than two weeks with a hamstring injury.

His return comes a day before Liverpool's Europa League clash against Sparta Prague, and four days before the Premier League leaders host reigning 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 February 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 addresses the media ahead of the round of 16.
