This is unquestionably a major boost for Liverpool, with Salah one of the star men of the Klopp era.
The Reds got by without him in Sunday’s 3-0 win over Leicester City, but there is no denying his importance to this team.
Salah could even come in for one of Diogo Jota, Sadio Mane or Roberto Firmino against Atalanta, allowing Klopp to rotate ahead of Saturday’s trip to Brighton in the Premier League.
The Liverpool manager could also play a 4-2-3-1 formation, however, allowing the Reds to field all four of their attacking superstars.
While a slightly weakened team could potentially take to the pitch, Klopp knows that a win will seal a place in the last-16 of the Champions League, affording him the chance to rest lots of key men in the final two matches.
