Mohamed Salah is set to hand Liverpool a huge boost by returning to the fold for their Premier League clash against Leicester tonight.

The Egyptian remains the top-flight's top goal scorer and will be desperate to help spearhead the club to success after suffering heartbreak at AFCON.

Liverpool have been unbeaten in the month Salah was away in Cameroon and secured their spot in the FA Cup fifth round with a 3-1 win over Cardiff.

Leicester, meanwhile, crashed out of the competition with a humiliating defeat to Nottingham Forest that has put Brendan Rodgers under pressure ahead of a return trip to face his former club.

Liverpool v Leicester: What has been said?

Jurgen Klopp: “Mo is now back, I spoke already to him. He is very disappointed of course, but looking forward to all the things coming up here now.

“I spoke to him and pretty much the first thing Mo told me was: ‘I’m ready.’ Haha!

“He is an experienced player, he is a physical monster, to be honest, so we have to see. He will obviously have a little recovery session today and we will see how he feels tomorrow and from there we go.

“The proper plan we don’t have, play him as often and as long as possible is probably the plan, but we will not rush it. But if he is fine we will not leave him out for the wrong reasons as well, so let’s see.”
