Gary Lineker took to Twitter to react to Mohamed Salah returning to Liverpool training after losing in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations final on Sunday night with Egypt.
Less than 48 hours after heartbreak with his country, Salah was back at the AXA Training Centre and is in contention to feature in Thursday's match against Leicester in the Premier League.
Both fans, and the Liverpool players, are excited at having Salah back in Merseyside - none more so than Virgil van Dijk.
Sadio Mane will be missing when Liverpool host Leicester on Thursday night as he is not due to fly back to England until Wednesday night.

When walking out with Salah at Liverpool's training centre, Van Dijk said to the camera: “He’s back! He’s back. The main man.”
Van Dijk's words caught the attention of Lineker, who enjoyed Van Dijk labelling someone else the 'main man'.
The defender is one of the best players in the world and this shows what he thinks of Salah is he to call him this.
“Imagine how good you must be to be called “the main man” by someone as brilliant as [Van Dijk],” Lineker said on Twitter.
