Mohamed Salah hands Liverpool FC huge injury boost ahead of Man City and Manchester United games

Liverpool's Mohamed Salah has given his team a big fitness boost ahead of their clashes with Manchester City and Manchester United by returning to full training.

Salah was seen participating in an open session on Wednesday afternoon at the AXA Training Centre, getting ready for Thursday's Europa League round of 16 first-leg clash with Sparta Prague.

In the last two months, Salah has only made one substitute appearance for Liverpool, lasting 46 minutes. This was due to his Africa Cup of Nations duties and then a muscle injury he picked up during the tournament.

Before making his comeback from the bench, scoring one goal and assisting another in the 4-1 Premier League victory over Brentford last month, Salah missed seven games.

However, he then aggravated the injury and had to miss the next four games, including the League Cup final win over Chelsea at Wembley.

But Salah was back on the pitch at Kirkby on Tuesday and was once again among those being put through their paces before the squad flew out to Czechia later on Wednesday.

City face Liverpool at Anfield this Sunday in what is a huge game in the Premier League title race. Pep Guardiola's side are currently one point behind Liverpool with just 11 games to go in this season's league campaign.

United also have a clash with Liverpool on the horizon. The pair will meet in the FA Cup quarter-final at trafford>Old Trafford on March 17. Defeat for United would condemn them to a season without silverware.
