Dispirited Salah in Liverpool squad for tonight clash with Leicester, Mane still celebrating at home

The Reds are returning to Premier League action on Thursday night in front of their fans at Anfield, against Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City.Jurgen Klopp has been handed a significant boost in the return of Mohamed Salah from the Africa Cup of Nations, as the Egyptian was back in training earlier this week.Sadio Mane remains unavailable as he is yet to return from Senegal following his side’s victory in the AFCON final on Sunday.However, Salah’s still dispirited for that tragic penalty shootout loss and is still not sure if he will feature in tonight’s game. It’s not the titles that make you a champion but what you carry underneath that shirt. Mo’s a living proofThere’s a chance he’ll sit on the bench and maybe enter the game later on.”Mo is very disappointed,” Klopp said. “It’s a massive thing. Losing a final is always hard, especially the way Egypt lost it, which makes it especially hard.”He is happy to be back here, and he trained yesterday and today, but he is disappointed as well. We spoke obviously, and he will deal with it of course, but yesterday everyone could see he still has the final on his mind.”I don’t think there is a lot of space for more determination in Mo’s mind. It’s there for all of us, but when you lose a big final, it’s really hard.Klopp: ‘Mane and Salah are warriors’Egypt and Liverpool’s Mo Salah didn’t take a penalty in the AFCON final. “But if you can use it [disappointment] for the next game or the next tournament, then it can be useful. How we will benefit from it exactly, I don’t know, ” Klopp concluded.PREMIER LEAGUE – ROUND 24Chelsea – Brighton 1-1 (0-1)/Ziyech 28 – Webster 60/Newcastle – Everton 3-1 (1-1)/Holgate 37 og, Fraser 56, Trippier 81 – Lascelles 36 og/West Ham – Watford 1-0 (0-0)/Bowen 68/Burnley – Man.
