Mohamed Salah could make Liverpool return at Manchester City in FA Cup

• Forward sustained muscle problem against Galatasaray

• Alisson still a major doubt for game on Saturday

Liverpool are hopeful that Mohamed Salah will return from injury in the FA Cup quarter-final against Manchester City on Saturday as the Egypt international prepares for his emotional farewell tour.

Salah missed Liverpool’s defeat at Brighton before the international break with a muscle problem sustained in the Champions League rout of Galatasaray. The 33-year-old forward, who announced last week that he would be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season, was also forced to miss Egypt’s friendlies against Saudi Arabia and Spain. The Pharaohs face the latter in Barcelona on Tuesday.
