Mohamed Salah back in full Liverpool training after muscle injury
The former Chelsea and Roma attacker — who has seldom been confined to the treatment room since joining the Reds — flew straight back to Merseyside after sustaining the injury against Ghana in his side's second group game.
Salah elected to return to Liverpool for treatment, although Egypt were hopeful that the 31-year-old would return to Ivory Coast for the latter stages of the tournament if his side were to progress that far.
However, without the services of their most revered player, the Pharaohs lost to DR Congo on penalties in the last 16, thereby crashing out of the competition without winning a single game.
Egypt were dumped out of the AFCON on the same day that Liverpool strolled past Norwich City 5-2 in the FA Cup, and he has since missed Premier League meetings with Chelsea, Arsenal and Burnley.
While Liverpool secured straightforward home victories over Chelsea and Burnley in Salah's absence, the Reds were deservedly beaten 3-1 by Arsenal at the Emirates, where their lead over the Gunners at the top of the table shortened to just two points.
Jurgen Klopp's men boast an identical advantage over reigning champions Manchester City, although the Citizens boast a game in hand, meaning that the Premier League title is currently out of an injury-hit Liverpool's hands.
