MOHAMED SALAH could make his Liverpool return in tomorrow’s Champions League clash at Marseille.

The Egypt forward has been included in Arne Slot’s travelling squad after rejoining his team-mates for training today following his exploits at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Salah departed for international duty last month with his Anfield future seemingly in doubt following a dispute with head coach Slot.

Having been being left out of the side for three matches, Salah conducted an explosive interview in which he accused the club of throwing him “under the bus” after results took a dive.

He also suggested he had no relationship with Slot and questioned whether he would remain at the club — comments which resulted in him being left out of the squad which travelled to Inter Milan in the Champions League.

Salah returned to the fold as a substitute against Brighton but his future has remained uncertain since.
