Jurgen Klopp: It's good news to have Mohamed Salah back

The Egyptian striker has been struggling with a hamstring injury that he picked up while on duty for his country at the Africa Cup of Nations.

He is expected to return for the last-16 first leg tie at Anfield on Thursday.

Klopp told SkySports: "He is with us and has trained two days, he is full of energy, we have to see. But it is so good that he is back. 

"It is really good and you can see he is happy."

Salah played 46 minutes in the 4-1 defeat of Brentford in February before being sidelined again for two weeks.

Klopp added: "It's an unusual situation being that long out and then he came back against Brentford, played an incredible game and was then out again.

"We want to be careful, we have to be careful but we're in the middle of a super-intense period of the season and we need everyone.

"So let's see how long we can use him and these kinds of things. Yes, it's just good news."
