Klopp says Salah returned 'sharp as ever'

CAIRO – 29 March 2019: Manager of Premier League club Liverpool Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Mohamed Salah has returned to Liverpool after the international break and said his star man is looking as sharp as ever.

“He always played pretty much all games, everywhere for country, for us and all that stuff, so it was really important he could have a break,” Klopp said.

“Now he will be here, a full week to prepare for the rest of the season, so that’s cool. I spoke to him, he looked really relaxed and in a good mood. Now, let’s go.”

Liverpool are currently on top of the Premier League table with 76 points, one ahead of second-placed Manchester City who have one game in hand. Their next clash will be against third-placed Tottenham on Sunday.

Salah has suffered a dip in form recently, as the Reds go in search of their first English top-flight title since 1990.

The Egyptian ace was the star man last campaign when he scored 44 goals in a magnificent debut year at Anfield.
