Mohamed Salah is on the verge of returning from injury and has returned to training at Liverpool.
Salah suffered a hamstring injury in Egypt's draw with Ghana on 18 January and has not featured for the club since leaving the Africa Cup of Nations.
But the club's shared ** shows the striker returning to the grass at the training ground with his team-mates, with Joe Gomez, Alisson and Conor Bradley also involved.
Liverpool will host Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday, with manager Jurgen Klopp saying ahead of the weekend's win over Burnley that Salah could even return at the GTECH Community Stadium.
Mo is moving in the right direction," Klopp said Friday. 'We hope but we don't know that he can train next week. But we'll have to see.
He's going through all the steps right now and looks positive. It's either next week or after next week. If you ask him, it's next week. ”
Salah's return is a timely boost for Liverpool as they struggle to retain top spot in the Premier League. Jurgen Klopp's side narrowed their lead to just two points with a game in hand.
Salah became the fifth player to score 200 goals for Liverpool in December, having not played since the German announced he would step down as manager at the end of the season.
Liverpool are still in contention for four trophies and will face Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley on Sunday 25 February.
