Mohamed Salah has been included in Liverpool’s 23-man squad for Thursday’s Europa League last-16 tie against Sparta Prague.
The Egyptian has only played for the Reds once since New Year’s Day, initially due to linking up with Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations finals before later suffering a hamstring injury against Ghana on January 18. Salah did make a goal-scoring return against Brentford on February 17 but has since missed the Reds’ last four games due to a recurrence of that earlier hamstring complaint.
However, Salah made his return to team training earlier this week and was part of the Reds’ squad that headed for the Czech Republic on Wednesday afternoon
As well as Salah, Wataru Endo and Dominik Szoboszlai were part of Liverpool’s travelling contingent after they made their returns from injury during Saturday’s last-gasp 1-0 victory at Nottingham Forest.
Teenage striker Jayden Danns, however, who scored two goals in the FA Cup fifth round against Southampton last month, has not travelled to Prague due to suffering a concussion at the City Ground last time out.
Caoimhin Kelleher is also part of the 23-man squad. Here is Liverpool’s full squad for Thursday’s game against Sparta Prague:
Goalkeepers: Kelleher, Mrozek, Adrian
Defenders: Bradley, Gomez, Van Dijk, Quansah, Konate, Tsimikas, Robertson
Midfielders: Endo, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Elliott, Clark, McConnell
Attackers: Diaz, Nunez, Salah, Gakpo, Gordon, Koumas, Musialowski
Injured: Matip, Alisson, Jota, Alexander-Arnold, Bajcetic, Jones, Salah, Gravenberch, Thiago
After Thursday’s Europa League tie, Liverpool host Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
