Liverpool are set to welcome Mohamed Salah back to the starting XI after the Egyptian winger was spotted arriving with the rest of the squad at the Lowry this afternoon.
The Reds have gathered at the Manchester hotel ahead of their Champions League quarter-final second leg, and fans will be delighted to see Salah among the travelling party.
The 25-year-old has been struggling with a groin injury picked up during the first-leg win over Manchester City, which forced him to miss the Merseyside derby last weekend.
However, Salah took part in training on Monday and is expected to feature when Liverpool seek to book their place in the semi-finals tonight.
Ahead of the game, Liverpool boos Jurgen Klopp urged his players to keep their cool against the Premier League leaders.
“We are in a 3-0 lead. That is better than I would have expected. If you had told me 10 days ago that this was possible, I would have said, ‘Don’t think so’. But that’s how it is,” he said.
“I am not putting pressure on ourselves. We are so close.
“If you defend at your best, it gives you the opportunity to win the game. You don’t need to score 15. With one goal, you can win it. That is exactly the plan.”
Jordan Henderson was also spotted despite being suspended for the second leg as a strong Reds squad including Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino arrived at the hotel.
Reds centre-back Virgil van Dijk also spoke on Monday about the game, which is billed as Liverpool’s biggest of the season so far.
“You can’t deny that being 3-0 up is going to be a little bit in your mind,” he said.
“But we need to go into the game with the mindset that it’s still 0-0. We want to win the game and we want to play well.
“We know how good they are, we know their strengths and weaknesses. We need to be ready for everything that is possible and we will be.
“They have got quality players all over the pitch. But we need to look at ourselves. If we play well, defend together and attack together, it doesn’t matter who plays for the opponent.
“We can make it difficult for anyone. We need to focus on ourselves and prepare very well for everything that could possibly happen. We know they need to come but we know we want to win the game.”
