Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has given an update on the fitness of Mohamed Salah.

The Egyptian winger has been the subject of a club versus country row since the African Cup of Nations.

Salah is expected to play some part for the Reds against Sparta Prague in the Europa League on Thursday.

He will then be pushing for a start at the weekend against Manchester City in the Premier League.

On Salah, he stated: “Mo Salah has traveled with us. He's trained for two days and is full of energy, we have to see but it is so good he is back and that is good for us.

“He is so happy and it was an unlikely situation where he had so long out, played an incredible game v Brentford and then was out, that is how it is. We want to be careful but this is a super intense period of the season. We want to use him. It's just good news."

He then added on Egypt: “That will be decided by a different department [call up to the national team]. Let's see how long he can play now. Only two days in team training. After so long out players not normally with us but this is the situation.

“Two games with Egypt... it's not up to me, we're not involved. You can discuss in other departments, let me say it like that."
