LONDON Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah is in line to feature against Brentford in the English Premier League on Feb 17, but right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold is ruled out with an injury, manager Jurgen Klopp said on Feb 16.
Egypt captain Salah, the league's second-highest scorer this season with 14 goals, had picked up a hamstring injury during the Africa Cup of Nations in January.
Alexander-Arnold, meanwhile, suffered a recurrence of a knee injury during Liverpool's 3-1 home win against Burnley on Feb 10. The 25-year-old is also set to miss the League Cup final against Chelsea on Feb 25.
"Mo is back in full training, so that brings him back into contention," Klopp said ahead of his side's trip to west London.
"Ibou (Ibrahima Konate) is not suspended anymore, Joey (Joe Gomez) is fit again, Conor (Bradley) is back, Ali (Alisson Becker) is back, so that's all positive. Thiago (Alcantara), no. And Trent not (available)."
The German coach dismissed suggestions that Alexander-Arnold was rushed back after his injury.
