Liverpool have been handed a major boost ahead of their trip to the Emirates to face Arsenal as winger Mohamed Salah has been passed fit to face the Gunners, according to a report from the Liverpool Echo.

Salah is the top scorer in the Premier League with 14 goals and has already managed to find the back of the net 20 times in all competitions this season.

The winger was absent from the Liverpool squad photo on Wednesday during training which had people fearing that he would miss the Arsenal game.

However, those fears have been put to bed as it was revealed that Salah was rested for that training session to ensure that he doesn’t wear out ahead of the match.

Salah has featured in every Premier League match this season for the Merseyside club and managed to score past Arsenal earlier in the season when the sides met at Anfield. Liverpool will be hoping for a repeat performance from that fixture where they comfortably defeated the Gunners 4-0.

There have been fears that Salah could be struggling with fatigue, but manager Jurgen Klopp has managed his game-time well so far this season, keeping him fresh for the League matches. Salah is expected to start on Friday night as Liverpool look to move four points ahead of Arsenal.
