For Mohamed Salah and Liverpool, it's set to be an anxious few days as the Reds await to see if their top scorer will be fit enough to take on fellow Premier League title challengers Manchester City on March 10.
The Egyptian's availability for the crucial encounter remains a hot topic as Liverpool's injury concerns linger. Jurgen Klopp has been without several first-team players recently, forcing him to call upon players from the Liverpool youth set-up.
Salah suffered a hamstring injury back in January when he was on international duty for Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations in January 2024. It was an issue that saw him leave the tournament early and return to Liverpool in an attempt to regain fitness.
The 31-year-old returned to action to face Brentford in February, scoring once and assisting another in Liverpool's 4-1 victory. Unfortunately, he suffered more discomfort in the same hamstring in that game and Klopp has been unwilling to take risks since then.
