Mohamad Salah will return to Liverpool on the goal trail this weekend after finding the net twice for Egypt during the international break.
Anfield's number 11 has 22 goals in 39 appearances for Jurgen Klopp's side this season and hasn't let up for his national team either. Salah was on the scoresheet this afternoon when the Pharaohs beat Malawi 4-0 away, in their Africa Cup of Nations Group D qualification match.
He also provided the assist for Tarek Hamed's opener and with the match won, was withdrawn from the action on 75 minutes. It has been a good week for the Liverpool star, who also netted in his country's 2-0 victory at home to Malawi in the reverse fixture four days ago.

Salah's goal in the first qualification match was his 50th for his country. Now on 51, he is second in Egypt's all-time top goal-scorer list behind Hossam Hassan, who found the net 68 times for the African side.
Salah's hot streak will be good news for Liverpool, who will make the short trip to Manchester on Saturday to face champions Manchester City when the Premier League schedule resumes after the international break.
Malawi will be glad to see the back of Salah, but Liverpool supporters will be hoping that Pep Guardiola's men are given a similarly torrid time by the superstar winger this weekend.
Liverpool are currently sixth in the table and about to embark on a run of three tricky fixtures against City, Chelsea and league leaders Arsenal, as they look to pull themselves back into the frame for a top four finish.
