Mohamed Salah returned to Liverpool's training session, marking his comeback after a four-week absence due to a muscle injury sustained at the Africa Cup of Nations. Salah's absence from the pitch, the longest since he joined Liverpool in 2017, raised concerns about his recovery.

While it remains uncertain whether Salah will be match-fit for the upcoming weekend fixtures, his presence at training is a positive sign for Jurgen Klopp's squad amid the intensifying title race. Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers eagerly anticipate Klopp's press conference for updates, particularly with Liverpool set for a Double Gameweek 25 against Brentford and Luton Town.

In light of Salah's return, FPL managers face strategic decisions, especially considering the significant interest in Liverpool assets such as Diogo Jota (£8.2m), Darwin Nunez (£7.6m), and Luis Diaz (£7.5m). Should Salah be declared fit, managers will need to reconsider their plans and assess the feasibility of accommodating the second-most expensive Fantasy player, priced at £13.0m, trailing only Erling Haaland (£14.4m).
