UCL: Salah fit for Liverpool clash against Genk

Mohamed Salah has returned to the Liverpool squad for Wednesday’s Champions League game at Genk after recovering from an ankle problem.

The Egypt forward, 27, suffered the injury before the international break and missed Sunday’s 1-1 draw against Manchester United.

England defender Joe Gomez is likely to fill in for Alexander-Arnold at right-back with Croatia centre-back Dejan Lovren poised to play alongside Virgil van Dijk in place of Matip.

The match at Genk is the first of two back-to-back fixtures against the Belgian side.
