"It's back to Premier League action for Liverpool on Sunday after their 4-1 victory over Barnsley in the FA Cup on Monday night. Liverpool will be keen for a victory at home to strugglers Burnley, having drawn three consecutive Premier League games. But the champions could be boosted by the return of Mohamed Salah, who has not featured a 2-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion on 13 December."
"Salah's Egypt were beaten in the semi-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations by Sadio Mane's Senegal, with the two former Liverpool team-mates clashing in a heated contest. That means Salah will soon be heading home, having scored four goals at the tournament despite the disappointing outcome. But the 33-year-old will not be available for Saturday's clash with Burnley, instead returning to Liverpool on Sunday before joining training on Monday."
"Assuming he is fully fit, Salah could then be ready to play in the UEFA Champions League match against Marseille on Wednesday night. Salah's return will be good news for Liverpool, who remain without Alexander Isak and have found themselves with fewer options than expected in attack. The Egyptian has scored four goals in 14 Premier League appearances so far this season, significantly less than in a remarkably productive 2024/25 campaign."
Liverpool return to Premier League action after a 4-1 FA Cup win and seek a home victory over struggling Burnley following three consecutive league draws. Mohamed Salah will return from the Africa Cup of Nations after Egypt lost to Senegal in the semi-finals; he scored four goals at the tournament. Salah will not be available for the Burnley match, returning to Liverpool on Sunday and joining training on Monday, because Egypt play a third-place play-off against Nigeria an hour after Liverpool's game. If fully fit, Salah could be available for the Champions League tie against Marseille. Liverpool remain without Alexander Isak and have fewer attacking options.
