# Salah given special fitness programme – Will he be fit for Man Utd clash?

Liverpool have designed a special fitness programme for star forward Mohamed Salah ahead of the Premier League clash with Manchester United, according to a report on the [Daily Star](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/liverpool-design-special-programmes-mo-20548605).

Salah picked up an ankle problem from Leicester City midfielder Hamza Choudhury’s dangerous challenge during the victory over the Foxes before the international break.

Salah limped off and is now facing a nervous wait about whether he will be fit in time or not. The Reds are eager to get him back to full fitness and have therefore designed a fitness programme which they hope will help him recover quickly.

Will he be back in time for the trip to Old Trafford?

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

He’s likely to be back. The fact he’s got the week off from international duty with Egypt is a huge positive for the Reds.

The 27-year-old will spend some time in Egypt before returning to Melwood, where he will begin his special recovery programme.

It is understood that Liverpool are confident that he will recover and hopefully, this fitness plan can help him get back to his best before next Sunday.
