Mohamed Salah injury update as Liverpool given potential boost ahead of Arsenal

Mohamed Salah will hand Liverpool a major injury boost by returning to training ahead of the Premier League trip to Arsenal on Wednesday.

The Egyptian has overcome the foot injury that saw him limp out of the 2-0 win at Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday.

Salah was substituted shortly after scoring a 61st-minute penalty - which took him on to 20 league goals for the season - having suffered the problem when attempting a shot a few moments earlier.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp had stated after the match that the forward was "not concerned" by the injury, which then underwent further assessment on Merseyside.

And having sat out training at Kirkby on Monday, Salah will take part in a session before a final decision will be made on his availability for the crucial clash at the Emirates.

Asked if Salah will be involved in the squad, Klopp said on Tuesday: "It looks like. Mo is a tough cookie. We were quite lucky with it. It was swollen and painful, and yesterday a little bit less swollen and less painful.

"Now I got the message before the press conference that Mo is ready to train and we will see how that looks."

Klopp, though, has confirmed both Kostas Tsimikas and James Milner will miss the game through illness.

With Manchester City having been held to a goalless draw at Crystal Palace on Monday night, Liverpool can move to within a point of the leaders with victory at Arsenal.
