Mohamed Salah hands boost to Jurgen Klopp amid fresh Liverpool exit theory
Mohamed Salah has returned to training to hand a welcome boost to Liverpool's title hopes.
Salah was injured during Egypt's second group game during the Africa Cup of Nations, ruling him out of the rest of the tournament. He returned to Merseyside to complete his rehabilitation, though Egypt were knocked out before he was fit again.
Now, with the Reds seeing their lead at the top of the Premier League slashed by Arsenal and Manchester City, Salah is preparing to return to action. That positive news comes as it was confirmed Sven-Goran Eriksson was confirmed as the manager of the LFC Legends team.
And Arsenal legend Thierry Henry spoke of a new theory on why Jurgen Klopp had decided to leave his role at the end of the season. Here, Mirror Football rounds up all the latest Liverpool news.

Henry reveals fresh Klopp theory
Thierry Henry believes Jurgen Klopp is stepping down as Liverpool boss this summer to preserve his sanity. The Arsenal icon has insisted Klopp is making the right move, with the burden for modern-day managers growing.
“That’s a dream job normally and they are stopping. That tells you a story. The pressure, everybody has a voice, social media and whatnot. It is tough to be a manager and no one cares about you. You’re going to have to take care of yourself at one point," he told CBS Sports.
