Liverpool have been handed a major boost ahead of Sunday’s decisive Premier League meeting with Wolves after Mohamed Salah was declared fit.
The Egyptian was substituted during last weekend’s 3-2 win at Newcastle after sustaining a minor concussion in a sickening accidental clash with goalkeeper Martin Dubravka.
That blow forced him to miss out on Barcelona’s Champions League visit to Anfield on Tuesday - an unforgettable 4-0 win for the hosts that sealed their place in next month’s final.
However, Standard Sport understands Salah is set for a return to action on Sunday, when Jurgen Klopp’s team contest their final league fixture of the campaign.
The Reds will end the day as Premier League champions if they beat Wolves and Manchester City fail to take all three points at Brighton.
And their chances of keeping up their end of the bargain have certainly been boosted by the availability of the division’s top scorer, who has a two-goal advantage in his bid for a second straight Golden Boot.
Liverpool do, however, face a wait on the fitness of Andy Robertson.
The Scot was forced off at half-time in midweek having taken a heavy knock on his calf in a clash with Luis Suarez.
The club’s medical staff have no concerns that Klopp’s first-choice left-back will be available for the upcoming Champions League final meeting with Tottenham, but a late call will be made on whether he can play this weekend.
