Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah was pictured back in training with his Reds teammates on Tuesday afternoon after returning from the Africa Cup of Nations.
The Egypt international was in tears as his nation were forced to settle for the runners-up spot in the AFCON final, as teammate Sadio Mane smashed home the winning penalty for Senegal.
Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Salah wants to feature against Leicester City in the Premier League on Thursday night, and the 29-year-old has now rejoined his teammates for training.
A video released by Liverpool on Twitter shows Salah jogging out onto the practice pitches, closely followed by Virgil van Dijk who exclaims: "He's back! He's back! The main man!" to the camera.
"He's back!" 😁

Salah was named in the AFCON Best XI after scoring two goals and providing one assist in the tournament and is now aiming to build on a tally of 23 goals and nine assists in 26 matches for Liverpool in the 2021-22 season so far.
Klopp did not report any fresh injury concerns before the visit of Leicester, with Divock Origi, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Joe Gomez all back in full training for the Reds.
