Liverpool have received a welcome double fitness boost on Wednesday, amid claims of a £500 million offer for Mohamed Salah.
Today’s Main LFC Headline
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Darwin Nunez have returned to training for the Reds ahead of Sunday’s trip to Leicester.
It has been five weeks since Alexander-Arnold last featured, having suffered an ankle injury against Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield.
This means he will likely play for Liverpool again before the season ends, before sealing a potential move to Real Madrid.
We’re praying that’s not the case, though!
Meanwhile, Nunez is now back after missing the 2-1 win over West Ham through illness, meaning Joe Gomez is the Reds’ only injury absentee.

Salah is under threat of missing 10 games for Liverpool next season – here, Jack Lusby explains why:
“It would include all of the games in a busy festive schedule in the Premier League along with potential Carabao Cup knockouts, the FA Cup third round and an additional Champions League league phase tie.
“Liverpool will, of course, be aware of this and it could impact any recruitment decisions when it comes to their forward line this summer.
“For example, while Federico Chiesa has seen minimal game time throughout his first season at Anfield it is feasible that the Italian will be more relied upon next time out.
“There could be consideration over whether Ben Doak stays or if permanent offers are encouraged for the 19-year-old after an outstanding loan spell at Middlesbrough.”
